IN CASE OF METHODISTS HIDE DOWNSTAIRS

The loudest sound like the most b/c they're the loudest. They derive most of their power by being loud. The best way to address them is to tune them out & remember they are mostly sound & fury signifying not much.

A lot of people are moving to email but I remain stationary.

"You have heard that it was said, 'YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR and hate your enemy.' (Matthew 5:43)

What do you cry out to for salvation? (an idol) Today many who claim to be Christ-followers are calling for the nations need of "salvation." A message planned before events of the week totally added to the need of this message. youtu.be/xLfVu_LriFI?...

The OT economy was designed to avoid wealth concentration: sabbath rest, no-interest loans, debt cancellation, year of jubilee, return of land, no harvesting all of your fields, etc. It reminds me of: "It's not that Christianity has been tried and found wanting; it's been found hard and not tried"

FCC chair Carr said that Colbert and Kimmel were targeted because they “appeal to a very, very narrow audience" and "if you're going to have a license from the FCC, we expect you to broadly serve the public interest." This sounds like it rhymes with something.

If power & imposing/enforcing outward compliance w/a "Christian" ideology is the point, then.... -"excessive" compassion w/ hinder enforcement -force is necessary & can be effective -love will be a reward for outward success (conformity) -those who oppose must be defeated.

That was fun. Wordle 1,549 3/6 ⬛⬛🟨⬛⬛ ⬛🟩⬛🟨⬛ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Part 2, this Sunday. What do we cry out to fix things? What do we sacrifice time, money, & attention to to gain a benefit? Our modern idols. (Part 3 is the big pay-off).

An idol was a way to connect to (a) god. To experience it's power & presence. We still try to localize his presence & power, in objects & places (church 'sanctuary', communion ?). Part 1 of preaching series on Humanity. youtu.be/2AfE1TtTZ38?...

The greater the distance between what you believe & what is real, the more violent the collision when reality intrudes upon your belief. This is a human reality not limited to any sub-group (or party) of people. It is why we must embrace truth over ideologies.
