AM reading, Acts 5. Sanhedrin enraged over apostles preaching Christ & gaining converts. 1 from the Sanhedrin stands & says: I advise you, let them go! For if their purpose or activity is of human origin it will fail. But if it is from God, you will not be able to stop these men.
Jesus is unstoppable. When we join Him in His work for the world’s great good, we’re unstoppable, too. Oh I don’t mean we can’t be killed. But that’s what it would take to shut our mouths & then others would simply open theirs. We’re part of a God-work that cannot be stopped.
These apostles didn’t keep getting back up after being arrested & beaten to pulp for 1 they hoped was Messiah. They KNEW. Our faith springs from fact. John:”what we’ve HEARD, what we’ve SEEN with our eyes, what we’ve OBSERVED & TOUCHED with our hands concerning the word of life.”
Keep your chins up, brothers & sisters. Shake off the discouragement & get back to work. The gospel’s not the vain imaginings of gullible fools. It’s the only thing that makes sense of this gargantuan mess of a world. Jesus has the words of life. Read them. Live them. Share them.

But I call to God & the Lord will save me...He will redeem me from my battle unharmed. Ps55:16,18

Want to speak into this for those in a battle. God has allowed some furious battles in my life & some of them unrelenting & ongoing. I’ve thought at times I wouldn’t survive them...
Understand, I’m pretty hearty. I have a fairly high tolerance for pain. But, in a few of these battles, I felt torn to pieces. Honestly shredded. Several years ago, I sat before the Lord reflecting on all of this, utterly bewildered by a lifetime of 1 fierce battle after another.
The kind of thing I’m about to describe makes some people nervous (which perplexes me) but that’s fine if this helps someone. No, God didn’t speak out loud to me. Never has. But an unexpected question came clearly to my mind & I felt He’d stirred it: Did I let them do you harm?

Acts 13 this morning. I love this verse because we find within it a beautifully succinct definition of a well-lived life of faith:

“David, after serving God’s purpose in his own generation, [died]...” V36

That’s it. Essentially your calling and mine. A few quick thoughts…
1. God knows your name.
2. God has you here on purpose. He never calls a single child of His to a purposeless life. This is no small thing. I’m convinced after a life of observation that most of us can handle pain better than purposelessness. In Him, your life can’t not matter.
3. Your purpose is for THIS generation. You may as well quit pining for another. This isn’t your great great granddaddy’s world. This is the one you were called to serve in all its ills & thrills. Suit up & update your internal software. You’ve got one short life HERE. Now. Live.

I’m a serial hoper. Can’t help myself. I’ll think “this situation’s hopeless, admit it once & for all” or “this thing we’ve been working toward, praying toward, was a pipe dream.” I’ll try hard to be a pessimist but then Jesus. Then the Scriptures.And there I’ll go again, hoping.
I’ll think I’m too tired & Scripture’ll say God gives strength to the faint. I’ll think I’m too weak & God’ll say, I’m power in your weakness. I’ll think I’m too sinful & Jesus’ll say, Rise & walk, your sins are forgiven. I’ll think I’m too old & Scripture’ll go all Caleb on me.
For the life of me, I can’t get rid of my hope. God help me, I’ve tried. But I’m stuck with it because I can’t get rid of Jesus,
the Blessed Hope.
And so I wait.

“...we wait for the blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God & Savior, Jesus Christ.”
Titus 2:13

Here's a thread about the books I read this year!

#reading #books #libraries #readingrainbow
1. "Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House" by Michael Wolff. Yes, I hate-read this book in a matter of days. Problematically, Bannon comes across as an articulate, insightful source and not an arch nationalist parasite. Will Wolff's depiction be hagiography in the future?
2. "The Invention of the White Race, Volume 1: Racial Oppression and Social Control" and "The Invention of the White Race, Volume 2: The Origin of Racial Oppression in Anglo-America" by Theodore Allen. Who knew how important Bacon's Rebellion (1676) was to the history of racism?

I would love to give a cocky funny tweet, saying that "if you're taking fire, you're over the target"

But that's not this tweet.
One of redpills Vanguard's acting a damned fool, trading in years of work to do nothing but shit post. I would love to say "haters gonna hate"

But that's not this tweet.
Another peanut gallery class vanguard is so miffed for being so unpalatable that he can't work with others and expecting praise. I'd love to say "mission focus is key, don't sweat the small stuff"

But that's not this tweet.

Reading "The End of Influence: What Happens When Other Countries Have The Money" by J. Bradford DeLong. Great analysis of the problems created by neoliberalism. My only complaint is that we didn't "[use our] economic dominance exclusively for global good." a.co/1hJrwak
Other than that suspicious claim on page 1 (was the author intentionally ignoring all of the social democracies that the CIA worked so diligently to subvert during the Cold War, to benefit American companies at the expense of the people of the targeted countries?), good analysis.
The book was published in 2010, so the stress of the then-recent recession led the author to be more clear sighted about the dangers of America's excesses back when we "had the money." We don't "have the money" any more. China, Japan, sovereign wealth funds, and billionaires do.

UNFAITHFUL SHEPHERDS

"Many years ago, the then president of The National Council of Churches warned that the danger of the great religious awakening taking place in our country, might become fanatical and be carried into our political and business life!
"Perhaps this was a fair assessment, that is, if you conflate #Christian #Zionism with religious awakening. Unfortunately, these "fanatical" #Evangelicals have 0 faith in the #Christian religion to which they give empty lip service--while paying homage to those who hate #Christ.
"For lack of faith in the actual #Bible, #Evangelicals make Scofield’ Notes, (Scofield! A drunkard and a con-man allied with the Satanist, Darby) --#Evangelicals have turned Scofield’s NOTES into a DIABOLICAL FORCE in our #national life.
