Lent, Lord Teach me to Pray, Communion Prayers

Communion Prayer: God you come to us in so many ways, in our gathering together in your name you promise to be particularly present. You promise to be present in the beginnings and endings of things—in transitions, when things are ephemeral and hard. And yet again, you promise to be particularly present in the bread and the cup, so that we might taste and see that you are good. Send your Holy…

What Do I Need to Preach on Next Sunday!?

Pray for and support your pastor, for when your pastor wins, you win. The ONE THING for today: Don’t let the urgent rule in your pulpit.  Stay focused on the whole counsel of God and systematically teach your people to think like Christians so that they can understand what is really going on around them and give a truly Christian response.    Photo by Mitchell Leach on Unsplash

what metaphor for the trinity do you suggest?

The only metaphor I can even sort of recommend is the one suggested by the Bible with the idea of Christ being the word, God the Father being the speaker, and the Holy Spirit being the breath. Some have also come up with the idea of the triple flame from a single source, though I haven't heard a lot of teaching on this specific one.

Yet, to have a metaphor to directly explain the Trinity is impossible, since it is not fully comprehensible to the human mind that one being can be three persons. But, some metaphors are worse than others. Therefore no metaphor should dominate our thinking. Also, when explaining the Trinity to a beginner it's important not to start off by bending their thinking toward a potential heresy like modalism or partialism. This will give them a starting misconception of what God is like.

All three persons of God are fully God and have all the complete authority and power and every attribute of the Godhead. God doesn't switch between or "act as" the different persons. The Father, Son, and Spirit coeternally coexist. At the same time they are not three gods, but share the same essence. It is better just to give a theological definition of what the Trinity is than to boil it down to a bite-sized metaphor that you can fit in your hand like a clover or an egg.

when the church decides to break down the sermon by gender

for the women: you poor sweet noble heart, in your overwhelming purity of desire for only the best and most wonderful, sometimes, if you are not careful, you may, it is possible,

for the men: you lazy selfish sack of shit,

#this latest sermon series is really mauling the hell out of me #my wife by contrast is quite unperturbed

Well ok you asked for explaining so I'm so sorry about the rant that's bound to happen I have beef with this woman like many many MANY homeschool co-op mothers I would like to meet her IN THE PIT

uh I guess trigger warning possibly would be like food diets and possibly eating disorders I'm not sure but I would rather be safe then accidentally harm you friend?

my mother was a crunchy homeschool nutter and her entire social group was crazy homeschool mom cultists.They were all obsessed with clean godly eating and losing weight they constantly kept repeating that they needed to treat their bodies like temples and it really wasn't healthy or good for so many reasons.

well one of the women in that group for as long as i can remember (I've know this lady since I was a lil kid) she believes it's impossible for European women to get fat because of *spins the wheel*

She just has some fucked up made up facts about Europe in general like WARNING SHE'S ACTUALLY ON PURPOSE STUPID

like she has for as long as I can remember believed with E V E R Y FIBER in her body (i have argued so much with her she will not budge in her world this is fact) no one once they hit preteens in france eats bread.

France home of the croissant, baguette and many other carbs bready bakery wonders...

Yeah no one there eats bread that is why French women are so thin and healthy they don't eat bread or any kind of sweets! (She and my mom then tried to make me do that for a bit they were always "suggesting" diets on me it sucked in expecting the thm diet and the melted butter+coffee+ apple cider vinegar diet to have fucked up my body somehow)

Apartly in her world no one in Ireland uses any kind of fat when I asked her to explain wtf that meant she said no one in Ireland uses oil or butter which like..

No that makes no sense where did she even come up with that?!I

Once I took a picture of like some fancy imported butter from Ireland at the store to show her and she and the other moms all straight up walked away and would not look at it. They would not talk to me kept actually doin the "talk to the hand" thing and covering their ears and telling me I'm wrong and stupid and to shut up they will not look at the evidence.

This woman is in her late forties to early fifties she has convinced half the homeschool mother cult that no one in France eats bread with no evidence other then she said so!!!!!

They honest to God believe it also!!!!

Recently she was trying to tell me that no one in the UK eats chicken that it's "looked down on as a disgusting poor man's food" she just went on n on on this long crazy rant that made no sense at all but she acted like she was very intelligent and cultured for knowing this.

My best friend and wife is from the UK and frankly i quickly asked them and they were able to point out this lady is just batshit insane.

Like my wife mentioned there's Nandos everywhere in the UK and that serves chicken mainly I have no clue where she's getting her info or ideas.

She got super angry amd defensive and has gone off saying she has two sources "two very reliable very real and very British people who totally aren't made up there her real Facebook friends that told her yup no one in the uk eats chicken only the USA makes fried chicken poor England is missing out on chicken because they're a bunch of snobs who think it's poor people food" so that's what she believes despite a lot of common sense and evidence to prove otherwise but "how dare I question an elder?!'

I really can't explain it like there's no logic or facts in it I myself don't understand it? I have gotten into many fights with this women.

So many fight

so so so many fights

Stupid amounts of fights

not just over this but like over everything under the sun I swear this woman is living a different reality then everyone else.

she just makes stuff up on a fly and then somehow convinces herself and like a dozen other women in they're 40s-50s that everyone in Europe is significantly skinner because they just happen to not eat the food that one lady dislikes...

like I can't really explain more then that this woman has no evidence, refuses to listen to evidence and has the firmest faith in stupidity I've ever seen it's truly kinda terrifying i wish i had her self confidence but also just wow....

I don't think that she's normal I think a lot of American children do actually learn about other countries? I learned about other countries when I was really young my mom would focus on one a month and then I'd have to do a lil presentation at the end of the month in front of my grandad and we'd cook a meal with some traditional foods from there if possible I had a lot of fun learning recipes from all over the world and we'd get a monthly cd with music from all over the world it was so cool! one of my favorite games when I was little with my grandad was he'd spin the globe point at random n then i had to say thw county, the capital, a famous food item from there and one history fact is famous person if I knew one and it was SO MUCH FUN!!!

maybe it's a new homeschool thing or a church thing or maybe this lady is just straight up purposely stupid I'm not sure? I have no fuckin clue this woman is insane I avoid her every chance I can.

#rants #ignore me I'm stupid #just yeah #she was one of my mom's bffs and lord she made life hell #Narnia a book written by a Catholic man with DJ much religious imagery and symbolism in every single book in the book series #and progressively gets more n more christan the further into the series you get #was evil and satanic #she yelled at me for liking old yeller #she was CRAZY #but the scary thing is she got a lot of women believing her every word especially European diet shit it was CRAZY #only Americans have addresses no one else dose i guess according to her she got my grandma to believe that for a bit until i pointed out #THE MILLIONS OF BOOKS WRITTEN BY A BILLION AUTHORS ALL OVER THE WORLD THAT MENTION ATREET NAMES AND ADDRESSES #LIKE EXAMPLES PRIDE N PREJUDICE AND SHERLOCK HOLMES HABE ADDRESSES MENTIONED #JUST TWO BOOKS NOT WRITTEN BY AMERICAN OR RECENT WITH ADDRESSES #that got my gran to think a bit but that lady thinks they must have been influenced by Americans aomehow shes SO STUPID IT FILLS ME W RAGE #her daughter told me jesus didn't eat seafood and seafood was unbibical #i.... I do not understand #like do you know where jesus lived do you know what some of his friend's jobs was or like the sermon on the Mount #dis you not read the Bible? why you mad ay me for eating all the time #now that i think of it a lot of times her crazy food things tend to be things i was currently eating kr talking about that i enjoyed eating #huh #weirdo lady #she yelled at me for eating two Oreos once #like yeah i wasn't being greedy but yeah she really got mad over that #now that my mom's passed she texts me randomly because she misses my mom n i think she wants me to fill the void i feel kinda bad for her #but i can't #i can't be her friend not after the shit she influenced my mom too be so cruel to me in the name of God growing up #i will not be her friend #that and she's stupid ofcorse people eat chicken bread and butter that's kinda the most basic human foods i feel like #EVERYBODY HAS BREAD EVERYWHERE BREAD IS THE MOST HUMAN THING

roope/miro, if the stars were made, so were we

;;

Roope sits at the opposite end of the couch from Miro, his socked feet up on the coffee table. He’s playing FIFA, as usual, face screwed up in concentration, even though he’s only playing against the game. Miro had been scrolling through Instagram, back against the couch with his legs crossed, looking at pictures of birds. He has no idea why Instagram is showing him so many birds this week. He was ignoring Roope swearing but glances up when Roope says particularly filthy and creative. He opens his mouth to say something to make Roope madder.

But he blinks, and sees another world. Roope on the couch, his socked feet kicked up next to Miro’s on the cushions, grinning at Miro. On his face, romantic love. Miro blinks again, sees another world. Roope with his head thrown back, laughing at someone that Miro can’t see, but looking normal. Miro inhales. Another world: Roope reaching out to Miro, his face flushed. Miro exhales. Another: Roope, asleep with his head next to Miro’s knees. Miro wants to touch his brow. Roope playing video games, but his hair is long again, though his face is older. Roope sliding off the couch to talk to someone Miro can’t see, speaking in an encouraging voice like one uses with babies. Roope playing video games, but he has a beard that doesn’t suit him. Roope tilting sideways off the couch as he laughs at something Miro must have said, tears and love in his eyes. Is Miro ever that funny? Miro shakes his head and the world rights itself.

Roope grins at him from the opposite end of the couch from Miro, his socked feet up on the coffee table. “Your brain is scrambled,” he says. “Like an egg.”

Miro says, “My brain is a normal breakfast, unlike yours.”

“I ate waffles for breakfast,” says Roope. “You ate chicken.”

“You ate the waffles that came with my chicken,” Miro reminds him. Roope frowns thoughtfully as they both consider how long they’ve lived in Dallas.

“Keep up if you have something to say,” says Roope finally. “My handsome little chicken.”

Miro kicks his foot at Roope’s hip. Roope cackles and unpauses his game.

Miro doesn’t move his foot and goes back to scrolling through pictures of birds.

#random personal stuff #back on my soapbox feel free to ignore #in yesterday morning's sermon the pastor - who meant well I'm sure - #cited a certain very popular SW TV series (which he emphasized that he enjoyed watching) #whose most recent season ended with a woman as a leader & warrior while a man puts aside his warrior career to settle down & raise a child #as yet another cultural subversion of God's natural order #...and this is such a massive oversimplification and I am very very tired

I just watched Jurassic World Dominion, finally! I loved every minute of it. I have to say, though, if I had been in this scene the last thing I would have done before I died would be to pull out a toothbrush and go: brushy, brushy. I am just that stupid and that's exactly what I was thinking during this scene. That's just me. Anyone else?

Studying demonology for my Web Series Story Development class while also hyperfixating on Faith feels like walking into a stand that says “Free Fanfiction/Fanart Idea”

Did y'all know that Alu terrorizes the person he's possessing in their dreams? And usually causes them to be in a deep sleep that they can't escape? In this fanfic I will-

#faith game #faith the unholy trinity #faith airdorf #faith alu #john ward #fanfic #seabury's free thoughts #((Blame my Faith hyperfixation for my Web Series being about priests and demons)) #((Demonology and Sunday sermons are fuelling my hyperfixation it's actually insane)) #((Also the sprite design for Alu is actually accurate cause he has no mouth nose and ears)) #((he doesn't have a specific design. in some cultures he's portrayed as some kind of bird demon)) #((Anyway in this fanfic I will once again put John Ward through a spaghetti machine))
