"uranium tipped motivational bullet points"

John Mahshie at Mount Jesus:

I do not believe Jesus ever intended his words to be fired off as uranium tipped motivational bullet points designed to impel people into productivity. However, this is often the case, which produces fruits of fear and condemnation instead of belief, faith, rest and trust in the Lords grace, peace, sovereignty and mercy.

People are unique. Each individual has a unique upbringing, story, outlook, brain chemistry and personality, which have led to the development of their individual disposition, character, habits and (last but certainly not least) paradigm. My purpose in pointing all this out is to acknowledge the fact that every individual possesses certain advantages and/or disadvantages in their ability to accomplish specific tasks. The religious rhetoric that centers around productivity, prudence, diligence and duty ushers in weighty and rigorous rituals that focuses on external results instead of an internal heart change.
