 Are there difficulties in following Jesus? There are; there are many difficulties in following Jesus, not to mention some that are more  and some that are less distracting and less difficult, but following Christ is never easy. 

First of all, the word became flesh and dwelt among us. We take that to mean in Jesus as the incarnate. But there's a tertiary meaning to that, which is you, you're a physical being so when you read the Bible, you're reading the word Jesus is the Logos; the word; and it becomes physical when it imparts its power of truth to you, then Holy Spirit interacts with you. 

So remember that one of the things that you're a part of is following Christ. You're following him through the word of God through the Bible, through the holy spirits guidance. 

So it's not so easy to get off track, but we do get off track, and so one of the things we want to recount, one of the things we want to recount in awareness; is the times when we've gotten off track. That he has gently brought us back. Ah, I love pastor Giglio's sermon about; "Don't give the enemy a seat at the table," and he talks about when a sheep gets its fur wet and fast waters that the shepherd has to take that that crook of the neck of the shepherd's staff and pull that sheep out till he can get him out of the fast water cause, that fur gets heavy in that poor sheep will drown. 

We get into those circumstances. We need that shepherd, we need to recount those times when that has happened, why? Because that reinforces in your faith, the actuality of the reality that yes, Jesus does come and get us and yes, we are not worthy and yes, we are bad at confession and poor in repentance, but we are what we are. 

And we recertify that we try to do the best that we can do in our faith. Walking with Jesus is an act of faith, trying to get others to get back to Jesus is an act of faith, if someone is already a Christian, you don't want to take them through the salvation process over and over and over again, no, that first basic baby step is over. 

 So now we're talking about living which is different, think about when you were a child, your parents or your mom or your dad brought you what you needed, but as you grow into an adult, you begin to see that there are others that you can also take care of? And then realised that you're recertifying the fact that you're capable of caring for people and that you are a caring person. What would Jesus say about a person who loves Others so much that they serve them?

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...
