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.

 

 
 
POISE
 
 

 

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

 

Rhythms In The Soul

NOBILITY - DIVINITY - CREATIVITY - DIVERSITY

INTIMATE. PERSONAL.
AN EXPERIENCE.

"To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all." _ Oscar Wild

 

There is evidence Goodness (its good-works) grows out of suffering. Many accept suffering’s inevitability and lean into it, even seek it, or engender it, nourishing self-control.

Equally evident, Goodness (its good-works) is produced in spite of suffering, harnessing and harvesting life’s generous abundance, nourishing gentleness.

There is an elegance, it seems, in the latter. Poise. A sensible proficiency. Power. A delightful fruitfulness not duly dependent on distress (hardship, misery, agony). It does not manifest those. It does not condone those. It does not promote those. Rather, doggedly and with discipline it works against that lot and their ruinous outcrop, banality.

Though that latter acknowledges the efficacy of suffering’s spirit (patience, faithfulness), it elects the effectuality of spirit's communal restfulness (love, joy, peace, kindness).

Yes, Goodness rises up from suffering. Equally, Goodness spreads in spite of suffering, energized by an acceptance that suffering’s price is fully paid, not in default. And isn't that cool?

After all, life is poetry, its finest rhythms rung from depths of soul, constantly striving to be in balance, to be less broken, to be whole. It's an art.

Regardless, we see through a glass darkly.

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

a Beauty of Being
(stepping in tune)

Like Water

"Christ-likeness is a lightness of being, a conduit of justice and peace."

 

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

DEALING WISELY with RELIGIOUS NARCISSISM (upcoming series)

Isaiah, the Prophet

"Rise up, shine, because your light has come. The glory of Yahweh has risen upon you. Look, darkness has covered the land. Deep darkness covers the people. But Yahweh will rise upon you. His glory will appear over you, and nations will come to your light."


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.

a revealing Perspective on Prayer
Why STEP ASIDE to AFFORD TIME with GOD?

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

GROWTH <==> DAILY ADULTING
(learn, unlearn, re-learn)

 

"Learn to find joy in the story you are actually living." Rachel Marie Martin

 

"It was not enough to come and listen to a great sermon or message every Sunday morning and be confined to those four walls and those four corners. You had to get out and do something."

- John Lewis
