RRR _Faith

 

 What is an aspect? An aspect is a slant. A side of a diamond . There are many different facets to a diamond. There are many different ways that light reflects through a diamond, adding aspects to the fact of the diamond in the beauty of the colors that are transmitted from the light. Remember that at 1 time you did not know Jesus. At all. 

Somehow, you were brought to a point where you began to recognize that he's for real Then, came the moment when you realized that what you wanted to do was follow him. And the process of following him meant that you were going to have to deal with those ways that you did not adjust your life to live according to his standards of righteousness. So you would confess your sins. Remember that confessing your sins is absolutely necessary before you can repent. 

Because you have to recognize that you have a difficulty; a problem; before any cure to the problem can be attempted. So confession and repentance are part of a natural paradigm of growth. When you move to recounting, you're recounting that growth, it's important to realize that that is meaningful to you as a Christian following Jesus, but it's going to be even more intensely meaningful to those that you are trying to give a hint to about what it means. To walk with the Lord, What it means to walk with Rabbi Jesus, it's incredibly important that the Rabbi's saying of being so close to the Rabbi that you get the dust of the Rabbi on your sandals is incredibly important. 

When it comes to following Christ, be that close to him. When you recount those moments be able to transmit that to your disciples, when you're discipling someone you're simply bringing them back to Jesus, back to Jesus, and that process of recertifying your faith in Christ means that the obviousness of your confession and repentance should stand out so solidly, there is no way that your disciple could mistake it for anything else. 

Therefore, there is very little of you left in any of the recertifying that you do, because what do you want to do? You want to emulate John the Baptist's famous statement that he must decrease because Christ must increase. You must decrease Christ must increase in everything that you do in every way that you say it, you have to bring your disciples to a point of respecting Jesus, a point of loving Jesus, a point of walking with Jesus, a point of confession and repentance, is a daily mode of life in contact with the Rabbi. The great and only Rabbi Jesus, whose dust we are unworthy to have on us. But whose dust we so desire to have as we walk that closely to the Rabbi that his dust will get on us.

View on Vocaroo >> Why laugh? 🤣 Heard a short on the joy of the Lord is our strength? 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...
