    20251018

    What laws

    • Easy (but is it?):
      • love God with all your heart, soul, and mind
        • Everyone say “amen” and move on. No new action
      • Love your neighbor as myself
        • No prob. I am not a fan of myself much anyway
        • Have my lunch
        • Have my time moving furniture
    • Old testament cherry pick
      • Jesus picked laws?
      • Apostle picked laws?
      • Pope picked laws?
      • Pastor picked laws?

    A house where other children are
    A house where there is always food on the table (not always ice cream, but always at least bread)
    A house where you are free to play
    You are invited in
    But realize the children are spanked for each sin they committed
    You do not want to follow all those rules
    You want all of the salvation that God promised to Israel though
    It is ok
    The last kid was killed so you do not have to follow those rules
    Then what rule do I follow?
    What ever you want
    However, it is widely accepted to ...

    Who follows

    How to discern

    Why do it

    After I was being as transparent as I could

    I dove into my mission Church rooted Bible study

    Week 3 day, day 2 reminds me

    2 Timothy 3:16-17 NIV
    [16] All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness,
    [17] so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.

    Timothy did not say the old testament was a good story that had laws for that era

    Now we are different people with different undefined laws

    Hosea 8:12-13 NLT
    [12] Even though I gave them all my laws, they act as if those laws donโ€™t apply to them. [13] The people love to offer sacrifices to me, feasting on the meat, but I do not accept their sacrifices. I will hold my people accountable for their sins, and I will punish them. They will return to Egypt.

    Explaining to Rick that following textile biblical law bring me peace and closer to the Lord

    You can get to know God infinitely through Jesus

    Unhindered workbook teaches how each of your sore spots are sources of genius

    They are written in your DNA of your propensity to addiction, memory, etc

    Once you lean into those sore spots

    Seek the truth of why it is sore

    Give it to the Lord

    You realize it is actually your gift

    Try that with the laws of the Bible

    They are all there as a reflection of God

    Everything works better when you just follow the rules

    They are rules out of love

    To make your life more peaceful

    It is a joyous journey to approach peace

    As I was DePosterizing the lottery

    Another branch sprouted at a node

    What if

    Tithing was the biggest bill you paid

    More than your mortgage

    More than your car payment

    More than your utility bills

    More than your grocery bills

    More than your bar checks

    More than your shopping receipts

    Combined

    If you benefit from the money

    You factor yourself out

    All that can be tithing

    Because you can say you did that for your neighbor

    What do you have leftover?

    Still enough for a savings

    Wait

    What are you saving for?

    I would give over my savings

    To be saved

    But let me tell my family

  • Life beat syncing…

    Morning, walk on cloud 7

    When I ran my marathon, I eventually came to the realizations that a certain heart rate is associated improvement and growth

    Therefore, they must be a heart rate for normal relaxed

    Just like curing an addiction is reprogramming the body response to mental stimuli

    If you intentionally move your body, despite your brain signals. Your heart rate will have to follow suit

    I did tai chi on beat(ish). Realized if there was a constant beat it matches each breathe. Duh tai chi. Oh to each movement.

    Oh it’s just a dance!

    Keep with the beat.

    Too hard?

    We’ll start with a slow worship song of Acapella (representing synchronizing the brain tribute in the right state because it is a voice only in rhythm

    Add in very subtle constant base

    Mix in slightly faster pace song

    Maybe change movement/dance every 4 bars

    Allows room for grace of missing the first beat

    Better to have a song you don’t know

    Can only listen and focus on beat

    If you are singing and don’t know the lyrics…

    Pause singing

    And listen

    God is probably trying to tell you something that you are mumbling over him

    Glory to God

    His Mercy is everywhere and endless

    If a song speeds up, it is still in beat

    Constant

    Every opportunity to move toward the delta

    Is an invitation to join what is good for you

    If you are too early

    You will wait longer

    But you have longer to be prepared for the next opportunity

    If you are too late

    You’ll get to the next opportunity faster

    You need to be prepared in a short amount of time

    No time to wallow

    Allowed to play all you want between or even sometimes on beat

    As long as you come back to The Beat

    Ezekiel 23 took me down a quick rabbit hole… ๐Ÿ”—

    What is idolatry?

    ChatGPT created a test:

    4 Tests for Idolatry

    1. The Love Test โ€“ What do I love most?

    Matthew 22:37: โ€œLove the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, and mind.โ€

    Ask: If I lost this thing/person/goal, would I feel like life has no meaning?

    If so, it may have taken Godโ€™s place in your heart.



    2. The Trust Test โ€“ What do I rely on most?

    Proverbs 3:5: โ€œTrust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding.โ€

    Ask: Where do I run first for security โ€” God, or money/relationships/career/etc.?



    3. The Obedience Test โ€“ Who or what do I serve first?

    Matthew 6:24: โ€œNo one can serve two mastersโ€ฆโ€

    Ask: What drives my decisions โ€” Godโ€™s will, or the demands of work, culture, or desire?



    4. The Sacrifice Test โ€“ What gets my best time, energy, and resources?

    Romans 12:1: โ€œOffer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God.โ€

    Ask: Do I give God my leftovers while pouring my best into something else?


    Romans 12:1 is a great verse to use your body to worship
