"Discipleship stands bare naked in the middle of the world's marketplace and, in the name of Jesus, cries aloud all the cries of the world until someone, somewhere hears and responds to the poorest of the poor, the lowest of the low, the most outcast of the rejected. Anything else, all the pomp, all the gold lace and red silk, all the rituals in the world, the Gospels attest, is certainly mediocre and surely bogus discipleship," SR. JOAN CHITTISTER, "In The Heart Of The Temple".

This is the title to the above-referenced symbolic artistic photo. Here you find a young man naked of worldly clothing, but clothed with FAITH. He came into this world naked of worldly possessions as a pure, cute, innocent baby. He is the temple of God, where dwells God's Holy Spirit. The man is created out of the image and likeness of God. The human body in itself is NOT an object of lust and sex, therefore is free of human judgement towards immorality. The naked human regardless of sex, color, race, nationality, size, shape or form will always remain a gorgeous and beautiful Temple in which God shall dwell. This man has found true freedom in the world with God. As in the Middle Ages, a young man in Assissi, Italy, named Francis cast off his worldly clothing and possessions to follow only God, NOT culture or society, and through God found true freedom with love, joy, and peace. In our rapidly decaying culture and society of greed, violence, lust, and materialism/consumerism, we have destroyed our Temples of Freedom, our body, mind, and soul. To be a Christian today is to be counter-cultural, NOT of this world working only for self-interests and toys. You have become a slave to SIN here in the USA. A truly free Christian preserves his/her Temple by attempting to follow God through Jesus Christ our Saviour. Give all away in this world and follow Jesus throughout Eternity. In the background of the photo, you'll notice the American Flag upside down, NOT out of disrespect to Veterans, but out of love for this Country - its freedoms. The upside down flag is a sign of distress, patriotism at its best, this young man is heralding out that our country is in dire threat of decay. We should NOT fear Terrorists, but fear the loss of our souls. We must begin to follow our real Commander In Chief, NOT President George W. Bush, but GOD!!! You'll nver become truly free under human authorities, no General or President will give you true freedom, because only God can free your mind, heart, and soul. Mankind can only imprison your body, never your soul or mind, unless you alone continue to follow sinful worldly ways, and rely on government to help advance your freedom to sin. Look at the photo once again. What do you notice? This man, a free man, whose temple God dwells within is not armed to battle the world with guns and bombs as our immoral government routinely participates in like IRAQ. No, this Temple of God is armed with his shield and armour of peacemaking, with one hand clutching the Word of God (Bible), and the other hand a Crucifix. Through his vulnerability of being naked, he intends to be faithful to God, battle peacefully through active non-violence, as did Dr. Martin Luther King, and through the Word of God and Jesus as our personal Saviour do active combat against our decaying and sinful country of today. As this one vulnerable man can attest, he too is very sinful, but rather than being bogged down by the past, this newly-born, recovering Alcoholic was personally saved by GOD to tell the world only God's truth henceforth. This Temple of Freedom today was traveling West on I-80 one June week-end, blood-alcohol level at .246, driving 100mph with a third empty bottle of Michigan wine between his legs. He did Not crash nor kill himself or especially anyone else. That day he was saved by Jesus Christ, a miracle happened, and my ears and eyes were fully opened. Prior to this miracle, I attempted to walk in this world and God's, which I now know is impossible. You cannot serve two Masters as stated in the gospels. My attempt to do so was futile and riddled in failure. I now have, since I was a teenager, both feet firmly planted in God's soil to grow spiritually forward with my wife Paula right by my side. I can truly say, for the first time in my life; "I am Free at last, Free at last", thanks to the Almighty God, my only master and liberator!

Allow God to enter your heart, so you may become a moral person, and fight against ignorance and injustice throughout the world. Give generously to the poor throughout the world, especially AFRICA!!! Respect all living creatures on Earth, and save the environment!!!
