The symbol has been hijacked by left,
right, up and down and all around.
It's been used in ways to promote
ideology pretending theology.
With the roots of this movement always
in the hearts of those entrusted with launching it, it will confound those who
have misappropriated the symbol and attract inquiry leading to reconciliations
heretofore sabotaged by eisegetes injecting their extremely navel-gazing
bigotries into a simply saving covenant of mercy.
As you will read below, we need your
help to get going.
Our pledge is we will never seek the
favor of anyone but God.
This pledge will infuriate the left,
right, up and down and all around while infusing the faithful with
a fresh boldness tempered by strong calm sanity to bring original mercy
back to a world and religions/churches/mosques/synagogues
so
desperate for...God...and those praying and laboring to love...like God in
Jesus by the book.

For over a decade of increasing intimacy
with Him and each other, Brian and Bob have known He brought them together for
a reason/purpose/mission to honor Jesus by the book as guided by the Holy
Spirit.
Church planter Brian is the lead pastor
of The Grove in Poplar Grove, Illinois.
Iconoclastic mainline denominational
credential-holder Bob is undershepherd of Belvidere, Illinois' First
Presbyterian Church primarily known as "Our Family of Faith on the Corner
of Lincoln and Main."
Profoundly compelled by our Lord's great
commandment, great commission, and high priestly prayer, a vision for
incarnating the merciful message of the rainbow has been forming in their
spirits and coalesced on July 13, 2017 between 3:00 - 6:00 p.m.
Anyone familiar with the rainbow's
symbolic and covenantal assurances will take the hint; yet the message in the
movement is staggering, seismic, salty, enlightening, leavenating, and
ultimately saving.
Stay tuned!

The preceding paragraphs are the first
hint of what's to come through Reclaim the Rainbow (Discovering Original Mercy).
Though tempted to, uh, disclose some of the plans to show His mercy that
will stun left, right, up and down and all around by the movement's radical and
uncompromising devotion to the agape love of God so elegantly and romantically symbolized in the
bow, exemplified in Jesus, and explained in Holy Scripture, let's just say, for
now, those who have used the bow in the past from left, right, up and down and
all around to promote their idiosyncratic ideologies only coincidentally
related to the merciful message of Biblical Christianity will be shaken to
salvific inquiry if not enthusiasm in the next several months.
Really, while those familiar with the
symbol may have some guesses, it's waaaaaaay beyond whatever you're thinking in a
Colossians 3:1-4 kinda way.
@#$%
Brian, who is much better at this than
moi, says we need seed money to get the ball rolling.
He's referring to domains, webs, social
networking, legal stuff, material investments, promos, and, uh, I don't know.
He estimates start-up costs of around
10-15K with expectations of quick self-and-expanding support.
So if you're feeling nudged by the Holy
Spirit right now to plant some seed $, you can send a check to The Grove (4210
Countryside Estates, Poplar Grove, Illinois 61065) or First Presbyterian Church
(221 N. Main Street, Belvidere, Illinois 61008) and write "Reclaim the
Bow" in the memo.
You will be glad you did as we
joins hands with Him to Reclaim the Bow!

Blessings and Love!

Dear Bob: Looking forward to see the progress of this project. In the mid-1960's I began a series of ways for Christian's to identify themselves, and give opportunity to talk about their faith, by wearing a symbol of the faith. The most successful, of five campaigns over the last fifty years, was based on a lapel pin with the word "AIM" ("Alive In Me"). This pin was created by an elder in Seattle, Washington. One of the five programs, that never got started, was a rainbow lapel pin. I saw the pin in a dollar store and bought all five on hand, with the idea of ordering two hundred to begin the project. A few months later, while I was still developing some thoughts with the Session from Genesis, Ezekiel and Revelation, Jesse Jackson launched a nation-wide effort to unite support, called the "Rainbow Coalition". I decided this was not the time for my idea, so it was dropped. I agree with you. Now is the time for your project. May the Lord guide Brian and you as you seek to bring Christians together in affirming our faith and bringing glory to God.
