In an effort to steer away from a health & wealth, hip & cool prosperity gospel, we spend copious amounts of time finishing this sentence: “Jesus never promised us...” OK then, what DID He promise His followers this side of heaven?
Life...
*Abundant
*Gifted
*Effective
*Empowered
*ABUNDANT: (Jn 10:10) Your life is meant to be full. Meaningful. Fed by an effervescent wellspring of Living Water.
*GIFTED: (1 Cor12/Rom12/1 Pet4) You are profoundly gifted by God. You are not the 1 exception.
*EFFECTIVE: (Jn15) You’re meant to bear an immense amount of fruit.
EMPOWERED: (Acts 1:8/ 2Cor10:3-5/Eph3:20/6:10) I’m talking about divinely empowered. YOU. In fact, supernatural power is meant to be so characteristic of our lives that a form of godliness lacking power should be suspect to us. (2Tim3:5)
*Abundant
*Gifted
*Effective
*Empowered
So, no, Jesus never promised us a health & wealth, hip & cool prosperity-gospel-life but He did indeed call us to life abundant, gifted, effective & empowered. That, friends, may not be the promise of a happy, rich, fun, exciting life but make no mistake. That’s a dang good life.

You’re discouraged. You’re fighting for what you believe is right & feel like nobody’s listening.

Wrong. God is.

You had some hope but it’s been deferred. Feel like nothing/nobody’s ever going to change.

Wrong. YOU changed. You didn’t have the guts 5 yrs ago you have now.
Do not give up. We’re not just struggling against flesh & blood but against demonic powers & principalities. Some of the things we’re fighting against have had a strong hold in our environments for generations/centuries. They will not let go easily. Do not stand down. Stand FIRM.
Things are happening. You know how I know? Because things happened with us. If God got through to us, God can get through to anyone. If God set us free from that bound-up, messed up mindset, He can set anyone free. If God changed our hearts, no heart is too hard. KEEP YOUR FAITH.

Compadres in the faith - I mean a small band of true fellow sojourners & fellow soldiers who’ll fight the good fight beside you - are absolutely crucial to all of us in Christ & for men as much as for women. This is 1 of the biggest deficits I see right now in the Body of Christ.
The early church had this & we need it badly, particularly in a day when we’ve substituted face to face compadres with online relationships. Don’t get me wrong. I have a real live online relationships. But we need more than that to flourish in the faith & to endure this darkness.
This deficit, I’m nearly completely convinced, is among the leading causes of our astoundingly obvious deficit of joy WHICH then results in a colossal deficit of endurance. Look at the joy these disciples had, even in their persecution & suffering. They had Jesus AND each other.

Started Romans today in my morning Bible reading & my brain was exploding by V.6.
“the Son of God in power,”
“the Spirit of holiness,”
“Jesus Christ our Lord,”
“the obedience of faith.”
Good grief. In awe of it. Of Him. Just want to say this AM, plead even, read your Bibles.
Don’t leave it just to the Bible scholars, academics, pastors, teachers & ministers. So much was endured so people like you and I could read it for ourselves in our own languages. Just pick a book of the Bible and start reading a chapter a day. When you finish, start another.
The impact on your life will be inestimable. Your faith will be built up, your prayers will reshape & start coming into closer alignment with the will of God which means profoundly increased effectiveness in prayer. You will be equipped for every good work. And most importantly…

He Promised His Peace.
With #Jesus as the source of peace in our heart and our mind,
we can have a constant peace knowing that God is with us no matter what and will see us through anything.

God encourages you to face your fears. He wants you to ascend to great heights in every aspect of your life. He is with you every step of the way. He is your “strong tower.” He will never lead you astray.

This is Phineas Parkhurst Quimby. When you wonder what happened to American Evangelicals and false spiritual leaders like Jerry Falwell, Jr. you should look to this guy. His teachings inform their faith more than the Bible, though they may not know it. He founded "New Thought"
One of Quimby's principal ideas was "Our mental states are carried forward into manifestation and become our experience in daily living" You can read more of his crap here.
phineasquimby.wwwhubs.com
Quimby was a traveling hypnotist and a bit of a huckster, but who knows, maybe he believed this stuff. Mary Baker Eddy took some of his ideas and founded Christian Science. The big thing he inflicted on us was the Law of Attraction. You probably hear it in many forms. 3/

Allah.

The past two weeks I've been struggling with something. Roughly eight years and two weeks, I was trapped in our house as it burned to the ground in flames. We lost nearly everything.
And lost a lot of immaterial things as well. Comfort and health to name a few. Alhamdullilah, my sister and I made it out fine. Our friends and community, may Allah bless them, helped us go from surviving to living again.
Alhamdullilah. It isn't that I now know what being destitute is like, or suddenly experienced a epiphany about the nature of life, but we tasted it. Meaning - literally being at a point where there is nothing but the planner of all plans, Allah Almighty.

The U.S. Senate passed a major defense, labor, #health & education funding bill today on a bipartisan 85-7 vote. Pluses in health #research, health #workforce, other initiatives now to reconcile w/House which hasn't moved its bill yet.. /1 @CardinalWaypt senate.gov/legislative/LI…
Can Congress get #health funding done before the new FY19 begins Oct. 1? Maybe. Holdover temporary funding then finish the work in a post-election lame duck session? Depends. /2 @CardinalWaypt
This is more certain: 2019 work for 2020 #health spending will be much more difficult. The new Congress elected this November will get this ticket after the 2yr Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018 $$$ expires,, w/big deficits in view. /3 @CardinalWaypt cbo.gov/publication/53…

Gospel for Tenth Sunday in Ordinary Time: Did Jesus get his power to cast out demons from the Prince of Demons? #gospel usccb.org/bible/readings…
//The scribes who had come from Jerusalem said, "He is possessed by Beelzebul," and "By the prince of demons he drives out demons." (Mk 3:22) #Gospel
//Beelzebub or Beelzebul is a name derived from a Philistine god, formerly worshipped in Ekron, and later adopted by some Abrahamic religions as a major demon. The name Beelzebub is associated with the Canaanite god Baal. #demonology #religion en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beelzebub

Articles like this make me remember what Michael Crichton said about the "wet streets cause rain" effect
forward.com/news/national/…
I am not an accredited expert on Hard Righties by any means and do not spend massive amounts of time monitoring them, but even I can tell you that article would be more productively titled, "What if the stuff we got wrong all along actually wasn't true"
CHARLOTTESVILLE. *draws together maybe 550 people from a gazillion little actualfa groups*
GATHERINGS AFTER CHARLOTTESVILLE. *are one or two actualfa groups at most*
JOURNALISTS. "wow, their crowd size really shrank after Charlottesville"
ME. "it was never huge, you morons"
