Start from here

Until the righteous King arrives, all is anarchy.

What people or nation on earth will take up the call of Jesus Christ? 
Not by exhibiting harmless religious piety
or doing condescending works of charity,
but by saying what He says, and doing what He does?

Not a single disciple of Jesus waited till he could decide
whether or not he agreed with Christ's words.
Each simply responded to the call, immediately.
Why are we all so incapable of doing this?
Who or what has tied our hands?

Anything can become a cult.
Any man's ideas or teachings can become a cult,
and will become a cult unless reason steps in.
And where does this reason come from?
It comes from Jesus Christ,
because of all the sons of men, His ideas and teachings alone
do not become a cult,
that is, when they are followed,
not just believed.

Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine
and puts them into practice
is like a wise man who built his house on the rock…
but everyone who hears these words of mine
and does not put them into practice
is like a foolish man who built his house on sand.

Matthew 7:24

So this offends you?
Go ahead, be offended.
It's your choice, but all it does is
betray your weakness and self-doubt.
Not God, nor the man who is sure of God,
can be offended.
Only those who only believe.

I believe very little, but I trust much.
A little good sometimes comes from belief,
but more often a lot of evil.
But from trust, the reverse is true.
A little evil sometimes comes from trust,
but more often a lot of good.
And absolutely true, that only good comes from trust
when the One you trust is
the only One who can be trusted absolutely.
That is, Jesus Christ.

It is now time for Christians to begin to really carry out the teachings and attributes of Jesus.

Christians have wasted enough time talking about Jesus' teachings and attributes. It is now time for Christians to really practice them in their everyday lives.
