Care Bears 40th anniversary

[flyingmycolours]

My Mom got me the special, 40th Anniversary Care Bear, Care-a-lot Bear, for a Christmas present!  She’s very cuddly, and very sparkly.  <3  (and yes, I took her out of the box.  Care Bears are meant to be cuddled, and you can’t cuddle through cardboard).  

I’m surprised, because she usually doesn’t really like me going on about “childish” things (she hates that I still play video games, for example), but I guess she makes an exception for Care Bears.  I’m not knocking it!

How do we know if our church is healthy? - Pastor Chanh

Common evaluations people commonly use which are unhealthy:

- attendance

- is there evangelism taking place

- church programming. The more the better? Shows that we are doing something, at work.

- baptism, are the numbers increasing?

- making decisions

- are the young people who grew up in the church staying? Are new people being added to the church?

———————————————————————-

Romans 12:9

Love for God should show how our devotion to our fellow brothers and sisters.

Bible only has one metric to measure healthiness: love

Love encapsulates the whole law and prophets. Love puts ourselves last, serving others, taking others, meeting their needs. How we treat each other, how we speak to each other.

There’s a tendency to gravitate towards things that we can quantify, but that’s not healthy. It’s basically evaluation of something easier, tangible. Concrete: programs are filled out. Our church is in its 40th year is anniversary. And so we boast?

No, these are not the things that we should boast in. Are these blessings? Yes, but it does not measure how well we are doing as a church.

Ephesians 4: “As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.”

‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭4‬:‭1‬-‭6‬ ‭NIV‬‬

What happens when we lose our patience? When things sour?

* what does love in the church look like? ⛪️ what happens when a brother or sister offends… or sins against us?

Forgiveness. 1 Peter 4:8 “Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.”

‭another version says: be fervent in your love for each other. Genuine Godly love will forgive, genuine Godly love will overlook wrongdoings.

Don’t focus so much on your own offense. Focus instead on our offenses to God. The key to forgiving others, loving others is coming back to the cross. But understanding how wretched we are, and why we need the cross.

Luke 7: Jesus anointed by a sinful woman

How much we love God is directly proportional to how we view how much of a sinner we are. Just like the servant who owed 500 denarius versus 50 denarius. The one who owed more felt like he was forgiven more.

Growing up, maturing in our faith = seeing more and more of your own sin. At this point in life, we don’t see all our sins. As time goes on, we see more and more. Do t be afraid of the Holy Spirit convicting to see more of your own sin. To see more of your own wretchedness, so that you can love others more. Isn’t this paradoxical? Seeing more of my own unworthiness, will lead to a greater love and forgiveness for others when they sin against you?

Pray: Lord, search my heart, show me how to have compassion for others.

Answer to the question: how is our church in healthy? We look at how we respond to each other. Do we forgive one another, or just tolerate one another? How do we respond?

Love in our church as Paul says:

1. Peace

2. Church discipline

Luke 17:3 “be on guard! Be careful! If your brother sins, rebuke him.” With gentleness and wisdom

Matthew: “if your brother sins, do so privately, if he listens to you. You have won him over….if not, take two or more brothers….. if not, bring up on church. —> this is tough love

“And have you completely forgotten this word of encouragement that addresses you as a father addresses his son? It says, “My son, do not make light of the Lord’s discipline, and do not lose heart when he rebukes you, because the Lord disciplines the one he loves, and he chastens everyone he accepts as his son.” Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as his children. For what children are not disciplined by their father? If you are not disciplined—and everyone undergoes discipline—then you are not legitimate, not true sons and daughters at all. Moreover, we have all had human fathers who disciplined us and we respected them for it. How much more should we submit to the Father of spirits and live! They disciplined us for a little while as they thought best; but God disciplines us for our good, in order that we may share in his holiness. No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.”

‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭12‬:‭5‬-‭11‬ ‭NIV‬‬

How do you view church discipline and accountability? Do you see it as authoritarian? A violation of your rights? No one else’s business?

By helping each other, spot sin, avoid sin, confess sin. This is how we should be like in a church. That’s what genuine love for fellow Christians look like. It’s sometimes difficult, and they misunderstand you. But sometimes, in order to be loving, you need to be misunderstood.

1 Corinthians 5: Paul is rebuking the entire church. He says he will hand the dude to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so that his spirit may be saved on the day of Judgement. This discipline was not an act of punishment, but an act of discipline of love….a wake up call…. To make known the seriousness of the sin. This is the point of excommunication. “It’s bound to be misunderstood by some…..oh the church is so unloving…..”

What child is not disciplined by their loving father?

Healthiness of our church?

Look at how the individuals grow, how they forgive one another. How they love one another.

Godly love isn’t just in serving one another and loving in ministries, but in forgiving and disciplining one another in the church.

McDonald’s debuts McNuggets Land in The Sandbox

McDonald’s Hong Kong has picked The Sandbox to build its first Web3 experience, McNuggets Land, a virtual world dedicated to celebrating Chicken McNuggets’ 40th anniversary. The experience takes users to a virtual store with a hidden factory and a tour through the history of the chicken snack, allowing gamers to play and complete quests to win rewards, such as The Sandbox (SAND) utility token, which is used to purchase virtual goods and customize avatars on the platform. Hong Kong users can also win 365-day free Chicken McNuggets coupons for redemption at the chain's restaurants. To join the virtual world, users only need an email address. Chicken McNuggets characters created by Hong Kong-based metaverse studio Pangu by Kenal. Source: The Sandbox Metaverse experiences have emerged as a tool for brand-building strategies in the past few years, allowing companies to gamify products and services, as well as establish online loyalty programs. Sebastien Borget, co-founder and chief operating officer of The Sandbox, noted in a statement shared with Cointelegraph that the partnership with McDonald's takes The Sandbox to “a new level" and brings it "closer to realizing the ultimate goal of mass adoption of the metaverse.” The giant fast food chain has chosen Web3 tools to engage customers in the past. In 2021, for instance, McDonald’s China released a set of 188 nonfungible tokens to celebrate its 31st anniversary in the local market. McDonald's isn't the first global brand to embrace the virtual world through collaborations with The Sandbox. The Web3 firm has partnered with nearly 400 companies, including Warner Music Group, Ubisoft, Gucci and Adidas, as well as Snoop Dogg, The Smurfs, Care Bears, The Walking Dead and Atari. “The launch of self-publishing now allows our partners to realize the true potential and monetise their brand in the metaverse by making their customer experience available to everyone, all the time,” said Borget about the recently released feature that allows brands to launch experiences directly on the platform's map.
