Perhaps for the 1st x…Trump faces adversaries who aren’t just immune to his Trumpian play book, but are playing a different game all together. enewspaper.latimes.com/infinity/artic… - Trump's bluster worked until he took on the pope and Iran

The Bible and Missions by Helen Barrett Montgomery published in 1920, pg 14, “We do not send out missionaries to proclaim a “plan of salvation,” but Christ & the power of his resurrection. We are not saved by a “plan,” but by a Person.” God has a plan & Christ lived/fulfilled it.

Thanks for this Ed…I do need to doctor up my broccoli with hot green sauce, but I like it too. (And exercise - encouraged by Ralph D Winter some 44 years ago, has been my pattern every day…but that’s another story!)

Just to encourage those of you with me on this health journey. So, I am down 111 lbs over 6 years, with lots of hiking as our physical activity. One interesting fact. I hated broccoli (and most vegetables) six years ago-- and I loved fried and greasy food. Now, I think broccoli tastes good, and fried is too heavy. (This was dinner last night.) So, lean in for the long haul, friends. I've got a way to go, but thought that was encouraging. You can join us over at the Fat Pastors Facebook group.

Mark Twain: There are many humorous things in the world, among them the white man's notion that he is less savage than the other savages.

I think I’ll take a break (after 3 years I think?) of tweeting/X-ing every day. I may start up again soon?? If it helps me process and stay focused on the Word.

When Dan Fountain arrived in the Congo in 1961, the challenges seemed overwhelming. As the only doctor for a quarter of a million residents, Fountain turned to prayer, innovation, and local partnerships to meet the vast needs of his area. buff.ly/jMdJx68

(9) Jesus is taken up into heaven…having left the Spirit, who will come in more power soon. Can you imagine: jesus met with his disciples many times in 40 days, and one day, outside Jerusalem, he was carried up into heaven. Sounds like Daniel 7 - the son of man!

(5) Jesus meets Peter + at the sea for breakfast (after they hadn’t caught anything b/f he saw them. (6) Talks to Peter about his love and suffering to come. (7) Gives his followers and us a mission to spread the word about him to the world. (8) Many other things and 500 people…

After the resurrection, Jesus does a bunch more stuff. (1) appears to the women who first come to the tomb. (2) walks with other followers on the road to Emmaus, & teaches them the why of his death. (3) appears to his other followers, and (4) then to Thomas! Continues…

The story of Jesus w/Zaccheaus is a clear example of Jesus being intentional & provocative in his interaction w/people. It would be like us inviting an IRS agent at dinner😎 or perhaps a better illustration would be a congress rep or Senator in a currently dysfunctional gov.

Bartimaeus was blind and begging all the time. He called out for help to Jesus as he walked by. People tried to make things more dignified and quiet. He got more loud. We can tend to marginalize the marginalized to make them fit in the way we think we should.

Jesus also (20) warns his followers that the world will hate them too, and (21) that the Spirit will be a necessary help for living, and then (22) prays an amazing prayer (John 17)…(23) he is arrested after his struggle with God in the garden and (24) the “trial” starts.

English

Jesus (16) teaches & spends time (comforts) with his team as they process all he is saying. And, He (17) gives/teaches on the H.S.-which is clear in the text that we need to function his way and not our own. Another key teaching (18) is on the vine and branches-dependency on God.

(11) Jesus is anointed by Mary. (12) sets up their last Passover meal–which they have & teaches more, (they are not fully ready for it). At the meal, He (13) first washes their feet as a servant/lord/king! & (14) teaching on the new command to love. (15) warns Peter of failure.

(7) cont. Jesus observes sacrificial giving at the temple offering space. He (8) teaches about the future & about being ready at all times & the story of 3 servants who were given money to manage. He (9) teaches he will come and judge all people. He (10) teaches about his death

English

Greg Parsons@parsonsgh·5 Nis

(5) cont. Jesus teaches another story about the wedding feast like the future Kingdom banquet. He (6) does Q&A with the religious leaders, who finally give up. He (7) rails against those leaders (again) as they lead people astray & reject him. (They are getting madder all week.)

English

Greg Parsons@parsonsgh·4 Nis

(3) cont.Jesus reminds everyone that the temple court was for the gentiles to be drawn near-not for commercialism. He (4) talks about prayer/faith b/c of fig tree he cursed which died. He (5) teaches parable of the two sons working/or not in the field & the wicked tenant farmers.
