Nuggets in a Nutshell

The GOOD News: For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world but to save the world through him. THAT'S IT IN A NUTSHELL.

THE whole chebang IN A NUTSHELL

"‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”

JESUS the CHRIST

to HEAL the broken-hearted	to proclaim LIBERTY to captives
to RESTORE sight	to FREE the oppressed

Love You No Matter What!

. . . Who is God working with to bring about the Kingdom of The Heavens . . . . It's no secret . . .

How good is life for the poor in spirit, because theirs is the kingdom of the skies. How good is life for those who grieve, because they will be comforted.

How good is life for the unimportant, because they will inherit the land. How good is life for those who hunger and thirst for right relationships, because they will be satisfied.

How good is life for those who show mercy, because they will be shown mercy. How good is life for the pure in heart, because they will see God.

How good is life for the peacemakers, because they will be called children of God. How good is life for those who have been persecuted on account of doing what is right, because theirs is the Kingdom of the Skies.

How good is life for you when they insult you and persecute you and speak any lies about you on account of me; celebrate and shout for joy, because great is your reward in the skies, because this is how they persecuted the prophets before you.

You are the salt of the land, but if the salt becomes unsalty, with what can it be made salty again? It is useful for nothing, except to be thrown out and stepped on by humans.

You are the light of the world. A city that is set up on a mountain is not able to be hidden. And they don't light a candle and place it under a basket, rather upon a candle stand, and it will shine on everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before people so that they can see your good works and they can give honor to your Father who is in the Skies.

Don't suppose that I have come to do away with the Torah or the prophets. I have not come to do away with them, but to fill them full, because truly I tell you, until the sky and the land pass on, not one dot or one squiggle will pass on from the Torah untill all things have taken place.

Therefore, whoever undoes one of the least of these commands and then they teach people to do this, that person will be called least in the Kingdom of the Skies, and whoever does the commands and then teaches people to do this, that person will be called great in the Kingdom of the Skies, because truly I tell you, unless your doing what is right far surpasses the Scribes and the Pharisees you wont be entering into the Kingdom of the Skies.

"Encourage one another. Build one another up."

The Walk

Nicolette Sowder

"Give me the wild children with their bare feet and sparkling eyes. The restless, churning climbers. The wild ones using their outside voices, singing all the way home. Give me the wonder-filled, glorious mess makers dreaming of mountains and mud, aching to run through a field of stars."

FAVORITE QUOTE
OF THE WEEK

Audrey Hepburn

"Live without pretending. Love without depending.
Listen without defending. Speak without offending."

Isaiah, the Prophet

"For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the greatness of his government and peace there will be no end."

Bishop Gene Robinson

"It's funny isn't it? That you can preach a judgmental and vengeful and angry God and nobody will mind. But you start preaching a God that is too accepting, too loving, too forgiving, too merciful, too kind . . . and you are in trouble."

Desmond Tutu

"You may be surprised at the people we find in heaven. God has a soft spot for sinners. His standards are quite low.."

Salt of The Soil

SAND is not SALT

Be who YOU are! If you don't like what you are, TRANSFORM

Do what it takes! If you don't like where you're headed, TURN

The BEST you is you. Be you! Don't lose your salt.

It is awesome, isn't it, to be or to strive to be the best version of ourselves. One ought, however, resist any temptation to think or to believe one is any less of who one is (a marvelously made fully fledged human being) even whilst in any particular moment one is not the best version of oneself. We (each of us) - you, per se - should resist any temptaion to think or to believe you are deficient when you are not the best version of yourself; or that you are unworthy when you are not the best version of yourself; or that only the best version of yourself is that which is required to be deserving, to be deserving of love or to love or to be loved or to be deserving of you. You are you. Be you, even if and even whilst you may be in the process of becoming, of growing, of achieving, of transforming. Becoming is an ongoing process. It is, isn't it, always awesome being oneself - just as you are - the TRUE version of YOU!!

Dear God, grant me victory today over all that assails. Help me square up to even the greatest challenges and claim authority over them, unafraid. Amen.

Joshua Dubois
