Scripture Of The Day - Interceding For The Backslidden

"And have compassion on some, who are doubting" - Jude 22

Jude wants us to elicit an emotional response from his readers.  He wants us to graphically see and understand the seriousness of believers who have backslidden into a life of sin and disobedience. He wants us to "feel" for these critically ill spiritual patients.

Because Jude uses the word "compassion." he is telling us that the spiritualcondition of a backslidden believer is just as real and serious as the plight of a starving child, a dying man, or a destitute family.

When genuine compassion begins to flow from your heart, you cannot sit idly by and simply feel sorry about a persons situation.  Real compassion says, "I have to get up and do something about this."

INTO ACTION:

If you will allow the love of God flow through you, it won't be long until compassion for these erring believers begins to flow from you to them. Then you will be compelled to see them from their bondage.

If you know people who fit this description, it's time to let the supernatural compassion of Jesus Christ begin to flow out of your heart toward them.  By releasing a flow of this powerful force toward them, you could set in motion the very deliverance these individuals need from the power of darkness that binds their souls and keeps them in deception.

Doubts.

Look at the lengths,

That I have to go.

Showcase my strengths,

With a source to show you.

That I got bandwidths,

Wave off doubters

Flex on ‘em, no ohana, no Stitch,

And her sideline hoes too.

On the path to respect,

You chose violence.

What else to expect,

‘Twas your greed that binds us.

Amidst the echoes of silence:

You search desperately,

But you will never find us.

Fucking shit!

Look at the lengths,

That I must to go;

Showcasing my strengths,

Yet I need a source to show you.

To cure your disbelief,

When it pass through my lips.

You waver like a tree leaf,

I wager truth flavored quips.

Look at the lengths I must go to,

For your strengths to show through.

Only, if you knew…

Doubters were harsh on Kean at Juventus, claims McKennie

Moise Kean came in for harsh criticism at Juventus, so says Weston McKennie, who is unsurprised to see the striker thriving at Fiorentina. Kean left Juve to join Fiorentina in the summer, and has since scored nine goals in 15 Serie A games for the Viola. The 24-year-old, who has also had spells at Everton and Paris Saint-Germain in recent seasons, is Serie A’s third-highest scorer this season and…

Benefit of the Doubt

Devotions for Deconstructors, Disciples, & Doubters by Dr. Jason Lee McKinney: Day 7 • Devotional

"Christianity is not simply a message but an experience of faith that becomes a message." - Brennan Manning

"It is really true what philosophy tells us, that life must be understood backwards. But with this, one forgets the second proposition, that it must be lived forwards. A proposition which, the more it is subjected to careful thought, the more it ends up concluding precisely that life at any given moment cannot really ever be fully understood; exactly because there is no single moment where time stops completely in order for me to take position [to do this]: going backwards." - Soren Kierkegaard

Often our intellectual doubts and deconstructions are birthed from painful personal experience. Likewise, our faith and reconstructions are birth from positive personal experiences. As we live and gain more and more understanding of our experiences, our perception can change. We can even come to see the redemptive nature of our most painful experiences even if we never fully understand why we had to go through them. The redemptive transformation of all our experiences is the core message of Christianity.

In my experience most of the time when I grow in faith, it is on the backside of a period of doubt. When I have perceived a mountain elation in God's presence it is almost always after a time of pain and disappointment. All humans will have doubts about their belief system and worldview. All humans live by putting their faith in their belief system and worldview. I have deconstructed and reconstructed many of my beliefs. I doubt easy and believe hard. I don't have any delusions that I am done with doubt. I fully expect I'll doubt again, and you should too. It is okay, doubt is an integral part of faith. It is certainty that is faith's enemy.

I think it is important that we put the critical eye on what is causing our doubts as much as the doubting of beliefs we once held firm. I have found that if I give my faith a fair shake it can stand up against and hold its own with any counter view. Friends, I have always been able to reconstruct my faith with more intellectual and experiential integrity than i have in leaving it. I am beginning to doubt that will ever change. Where else am I going to go? I know that Jesus has the words of life, and I continue to come back to the belief that Jesus is the Holy One of God.

My friend and brother Jesus. My savior and Lord. Jesus, be the delight and pleasure of my often-wandering soul. You are my reassurance in doubts. Help me to doubt my doubt even more than I doubt my beliefs. You are the Lord of my deconstruction and reconstructions. You are the redeemer of my painful experiences, the one I can return to over and over even in despair. You are my light and guide in every uncertainty and confusion, you are the forgiver of my failures, the secure of my faith and salvation, my rock when my thoughts are sinking in sand. Lord, you still love me even when what you say is right doesn't seem right to me. You are patient with my questions and questioning. Help me by gifting me the wisdom in these times to understand why you say what you say but the wisdom to trust you even when I can't understand.

Jesus, you are the one who is so very longsuffering with me when I am trying to work things out, even when it is taking longer than it should. Jesus, you have proven yourself over and over again, you are the one that I can always trust, even when I can't figure out who to trust. You have the words to life and are the Holy One of God. Jesus, build my faith in these truths, in your Holy faithful name. Amen.

This devotion is an excerpt from Dr. Jason Lee McKinney's devotional book, Devotions for Deconstructors, Disciples, and Doubters,and based on his book, Deconstructing a Disciple's Doubt.

The accompanying music comes from Jason Lee McKinney Band's album One Last Thing.

FORD & MABEL BONDING LOVERS WE'RE WINNING

[cadence-mefford]

Pink and Orange

I thought alone outside my home

I don’t know how to make my words elegant

You’re no good at this

Who are you again?

I count on you to find my identity

How do you have so much power over me?

All this doubt

PLEASE GET IT OUT

I question as I’m typing

Will I ever know

How to kill the angst in my soul

Pink and Orange

In the distance

Distrust is what defines me

Don’t let it be

Don’t be like me

Be free

You've always loved ostracizing me.

The Genuine Jesus

Yes, I get you.

Maybe stop stealing MY NAME?

Judgers.

Jesus doesn't have infinite tolerance or patience for continued Iniquity.

Heed, and Grow.

Just to recap Lilia’s absolute love for his children:

Dragon eggs can’t hatch without “true love” aka “parental love.” Lilia believed he wasn’t capable of having those emotions, therefore he could not hatch Malleus’s egg if both of his parents died. And yet, and yet, Malleus hatched under the love and care of Lilia.

Lilia learned to love with Malleus (or a better way to say this, learned that he could love with Malleus)

Lilia sings Mallenore’s (Malleus’s mother) lullaby to Malleus often as a child

Silver was put under a spell by the fairies to sleep until the war was over. He could only be woken up by someone who truly loved him. Lilia finds him sleeping as a baby, still under the spell. Guess who wakes up?

Lilia upon meeting baby Silver, talks gently to Silver and says he looks a lot like Malleus when he was a baby. Lilia sings Mallenore’s lullaby to Silver too

He blesses Silver to be blessed by the night. He names him Silver because Silver radiates light, and “like the moon that lights the dark sky, Silver will light the dark path.”

Lilia does everything to learn how to raise a human, including buying baby formula/milk powder. He sings him to sleep.

Child Silver gives Lilia an acorn bracelet so that he can live a long time. Lilia responds, “…I feel I can live another thousand years with this bracelet.”

Kyrgios vows to ‘shut up’ doubters with December comeback

Fiery Australian Nick Kyrgios plans to make a comeback at Abu Dhabi in December with his goal to win a Grand Slam and “shut up” those who doubt him. The one-time world number 13 has played just one ATP Tour singles match in two years after suffering knee, foot and wrist injuries. The 29-year-old has hinted at retirement several times, but told News Corp’s Code Sports on Monday he would return for…

literally where can the zelda franchise go after totk. this is it. we've reached it. the pinnacle of video game entertainment. the whole dev team should just pack their stuff and enjoy a long and comfortable retirement. whoever decides their team has to follow-up on that with the next zelda game should answer for their crimes at the hague. what the fuck. I haven't even beat the game yet but what the fuck.

and how are AAA video game devs everywhere not losing their minds. how the hell did nintendo do any of that? and on that console?? you mean to tell me I can stack 15 differently shaped objects on top of each other and they don't vibrate violently into the skybox?? you mean to tell me the physics engine gladly accepts whatever I throw at it and holds it all together without dropping a frame while running on a machine that was outclassed two generations ago??? this is not witchcraft it's a grandiose demonstration of mastery over every aspect of game development that casts an immense shadow over every other AAA studio. fuck. fuck!!!!

everything about this game is crazy to me. the visuals are crazy. the soudtrack is crazy. the complexity of all systems and how they interact is crazy. the sheer amount of non-repeating content, NPCs, quests, dialogue, puzzles, environment variety - all crazy to me. every time I boot up this game I am humbled by the monumental effort and obvious love that went into every facet of the resulting experience. no cut corners anywhere. mirror-perfect chrome polish.

it's so rare we get something like that, in any field. I'd understand if nintendo never made a zelda game ever again because how do you follow that. god I hope everyone who worked on this game got the fattest check and the sloppiest head. I'm so happy I get to live in shigeru miyamoto's world
