Mosh Pit Christianity

At any given Metal Concert, there are three general groups: Supervisors, Fans, and Participants. The Supervisors stand or sit in back, giving either approval or disapproval to the show and crowd. Fans stand near the front,  and cheer as well as watch. You may even get a clap out of them. Then there are the Participants. These crazy people don't just stand around. They begin a thing of chaos up front, pulling as many people into their madness as possible. These are the ones who have the most fulfillment out of tho concert. They have the most fun.

There is a mirror, also. Christians have three basic modes: Supervisors, Fans, and Participants.

Of course, a supervisor doesn't just have to watch. They can draw attention to themselves, distracting others from their fun. They can gossip, slander, or do any number of other perverse things way back there in the back. But only the band can see them. Only the LORD sees them in their true light.

The Fans, yeah, they are among us. Sure. They are enjoying seeing the artist up close, kinda tapping their foot to the beat, kinda singing. But it is just their try. Some are participants, some are not. Some are actually only there because they had nothing else to do. Well, how exciting.

The Participants are the ones with the fun. They have the energy. Crank it up, they are lovin' it. Their energy and violent intercourse are shaking to the walls around them. They bash and are bashed alike. They are enjoying every minute of it. And everyone around them, and all who see them in the light are empowered by that energy. The blood is flowing. They're ready.

If I were to ask a question, which would you consider yourself? Do you want to watch? Will you be there? Or will you BE THERE, a part of the action. Potato, goat, or sheep? I like to call myself a sheep, though I often act like the other two.
