Chapter One Remember

 


 I promise you, in the future, we're going to go to video, but I'm honestly trying to spare you having to see this face. It's bad enough to get old. It's way worse to have all of these wrinkles implemented by God to humble you; anyway, Hey; that and the fact that it used to have hair, and now it just has air.

So Making disciples using a process of remembering recounting and recertifying, you could almost substitute the term retelling for recertifying?

But certify is used in the New Testament, and I thought Paul using it was just a real kind of a shocker, but a real testimonial to how thoughtful Paul had become? How about the depth of what it means to work with people in bringing them back to Jesus continually? (Galatians 1:11)

And we are really focusing in this first chapter on remembering and the fact that remembrances have an odd characteristic to them, and that characteristic is this, if you remember something in a good frame of reference.

The tendency is almost for it to be laid back into a more distant place, then those things which are not pleasant, which are like unpleasant, but they come to the forefront.

I guess what I'm saying is we tend to focus upon those things that impact most upon us emotionally, and it seems like emotionally, we're impacted on negatively the majority of the time. Now I may be mistaken about this.

It may be a mistake of my own personal perceptions, and it may be that when you have personal perceptions, they get projected onto other people from the things that you remember, you may have to listen to that again, I would hope, but that's my idea is that in remembering

You want to remember at least I want to remember The Times when I have felt Jesus closest to me, Jesus walking and walking in and my being with Him trying to be in step with Him, not walking ahead of Him, not walking behind Him, but a little bit behind Him, you never want to try to walk equal with the master, because that's not going to ever happen.

But also really isn't our goal as a Christian to try to be like Christ, it's with the realization that we cannot be like Christ so with the realization, but I want to wash His feet. I want to wash His feet. Shouldn't we want to wash each others feet? How precious is the love of Jesus?

Made me remember, that is recount, which in working with learners (disciples), is the time to recertify, which is an old but very true Newspaper writer saying: "Tell them, then tell them what you told them, then tell them once more memorably." Huh? How do you make a three time repeat interesting? Remember your first...? 🤣 In my pretty boring, unexciting, calm life; I've been fired lots of times. Sometimes it was on me, sometimes, it was on them- now, watch this one- it's gonna getcha, sometimes it was on God. Ooh that'll make some folk getonup😆But watch this:  Jhn 9:1  -  And   as   Jesus   passed by,   he saw   a man   which was blind   from   his   birth. Tools Jhn 9:2  -  And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, th...

View on Vocaroo >> Tasty, is a lovely word, sounds near sweet? Tenderloin is one of our favorite meats, as a meal we eat it with Rice-a-Roni or just rice; usually I try to make some gravy to go with the rice, and we have a vegetable. There is almost always some left over meat that I refrigerate in it's juice. A day or two later put that into a pan, as the frozen meat and juice heats up it fills the pan- then I'll add barbeque sauce to that and it boils down to the point the tenderloin falls apart and it's now pulled pork bbq for a marvelous sandwich. Tasty, it really, is. When Holy Spirit drew you from hell, usually by bringing you to your senses, of how messed up you were? When Holy Spirit does that, you are like a cooked meal that's been set aside in the refrigerator- you are preserved, but your function is stopped. Before, you were a meal, now, your just preserved. Holy Spirit gets hold of you, now you may feel some heat, you will be changing- becoming what ...

View on Vocaroo >> There are so many memories to your Christ experience. Remembering is in a very unsalted way, forming your story of what Christ has done. Get who, what, when, where and possibly why or how, together so it makes sense. Now we season... Dana you mix metaphors a bunch, we're writing, your using a cooking analogy? Ah you caught me...throwin Jalapenoes instead of pepper...and I'm in great company, the gospel is loaded with things that are like other things, the Bible has tons of metaphor...oops, that's a pun, huh? A coin, in a fishes mouth? To pay taxes? For both of them? See any metaphor there? Miracle aside, Peter a now fisher of men? Jesus now proving his earthly existence- ooh, here's one for history buffs, did the takers of taxes keep records? (Matt 17:27) What miracle, other than new birth, eating food that turns into energy, bones? Water rather than air? Both have Oxygen one way it's wet, the other we breathe, now can you begin to glimps...
