Jumping Off Bridges

Photo by Nate Hess on Unsplash This sermon was preached for Capital Pres Fairfax on October 1, 2023 as a part of our series through the book of Galatians. Below is a manuscript of the message I preached, along with an extended reflection and application I didn’t have time for on Sunday. A recording of this sermon will be available on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.   * * *  In 2015 I worked at a…

when people refer to canon story-relevant kingdom hearts games as ‘spinoffs’ it makes me sad not only for the obvious reasons i always say but also bc like man i WISH this series had spinoffs. imagine what they could do if they had permission from nomura to truly go off the rails and ignore the greater canon for a second and just do some fun whimsical plotless thing in an alternate universe. imagine a fishing/boating game on destiny islands. kh fighting game. it is an injustice that we have been deprived of kingdom karts. can anyone hear me

S6E13 Union with Christ

S6E13 Union with Christ

By: Dr. Brian Chilton and Curtis Evelo | December 22, 2022 Dr. Brian Chilton and Curtis Evelo discuss the believer’s union with Christ on this episode of the Bellator Christi Podcast. How can we best understand the unity that the believer has with Christ? Is it more of a relational union or a metaphysical one? The episode engages five models of the union of Christ, which includes the metaphysical…

“I implore you, brethren, never to break or despise the rule of this prayer: A Christian when he eats, drinks, walks, sits, travels or does any other thing must continually cry: ‘Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy upon me.’ So that the name of the Lord Jesus descending into the depths of the heart, should subdue the serpent ruling over the inner pastures and bring life and salvation to the soul. He should always live with the name of the Lord Jesus, so that the heart swallows the Lord and the Lord the heart, and the two become one. And again: do not estrange your heart from God, but abide in Him, and always guard your heart by remembering our Lord Jesus Christ, until the name of the Lord becomes rooted in the heart and it ceases to think anything else.”

~St. John Chrysostom

Fun fact (which I unfortunately can’t back up because I heard it from a friend but it doesn’t make anyone look bad so I’ll share it anyways): Dmitri Shostakovich was quite the fan of the musical Jesus Christ Superstar! He saw a performance of it in on a trip to London sometime between 1972, its West End premiere, and 1975, the year he died, and was apparently quite impressed.

Pictured below is a photo of Shostakovich and British composer Benjamin Britten. The two of them were reportedly quite good friends.

‘That woman is a hurricane’

— But aren’t hurricanes bad?

‘Yes they are — but sometimes that’s exactly what you need.. someone like her that collides into you, shakes everything up, and leaves a wreckage that reveals all the repressed potential buried beneath, of all that you could be, but you weren’t living up to.

Women like her make you want to become more, so you can know yourself as the God that you truly are.

Anything less will never do — She is the mirror that reflects your divinity back to you.

Okay so everyone makes the cunk on earth=Harry du Bois comparisons and that’s really good and makes a lot of sense but have you ever considered. Cuno on earth

[ha, yeah, no, I don't think so. the higher-ups can [AUTO-CENSORED BY PILOTNET] for all I care, we are NOT paying reparations to Rev, especially not after what they did to Kennedi // -- Slipshod]

+++++++

[DISCIPLINARY ACTION]

MSMC-796 "Heaven's Fury" is on a one-month deployment probation, effective immediately. They may not accept commissions (paid or unpaid), recommend or commission fellow squadrons for deployments on their behalf, send or receive commission offers, or otherwise engage in the field duties of a MSMC Lancer squadron.

However, all squad members are permitted to engage with PR responsibilities as usual, within the updated guidelines handed down from MSMC Upper Management.

MSMC-148 "Neon Scene" is on a two-week deployment probation, effective immediately, following the same terms as above.

+++++++

There, that should about do it. Hopefully command is satisfied with that. MSMC-148 is sending in their recorded footage from the field for review (seeing as they were actually able to get the full scope of things from the sidelines), and all of our text correspondences with everyone have been compiled and timestamped for viewing from as many perspectives as I and Slipshod could track down.

Obligatory thank you to the boys from Hades & Jackal, Esq. for their assistance in drafting this. (Hopefully Slipshod's little "addendum" in the Reparations section doesn't show up in their copy.)

TL;DR - Our entire squad is banned from any sort of field deployment for a month, and we're probably gonna owe some pretty serious reparations to the KTB for blowing a Worldkiller-sized hole in Karrakis during combat (if/when they actually get back to us).

Kennedi's gonna need a new mech once she wakes up, and as far as the medical team can tell us, she's slated for a new arm prosthetic once her burns start to heal over and they can safely remove the old one without damaging anything further. But she is in fact alive, and is currently stable. Sometimes, stubbornness is a good thing.

It's been one hell of a week. We all need some rest. Expect us to be on and off for a bit as we wait for this entire mess to blow over.

Sunday School - July 28, 2024

1 Corinthians 2:16 - "For who has known or understood the mind (the counsels and purposes) of the Lord so as to guide and instruct Him and give Him knowledge? But we have the mind of Christ, the Messiah, and do hold the thoughts (feelings and purposes) of His heart."

FIRST CORINTHIANS 6:17 SAYS THAT WHEN YOU WERE JOINED TO THE LORD YOU BECAME ONE SPIRIT WITH HIM. HE CAME INTO UNION WITH YOU SO THAT HE CAN TALK TO YOU HEART TO HEART - HIS THOUGHTS BECOME YOUR ACTIONS.

HE WANTS YOU TO WALK SO CLOSELY WITH HIM THAT YOU NEVER LACK POWER TO OVERCOME THE EVIL OF THIS WORLD, AND FEEL HIS HEART OF COMPASSION TOWARD THOSE THAT ARE HURTING OR BOWED DOWN WITH SICKNESS AND PAIN.

SINCE HE IS ONE WITH YOU, HE CAN REACH OUT THROUGH YOUR HANDS AND FULFILL HIS PURPOSES IN THE EARTH BY BEARING FRUIT THAT REMAINS THROUGH YOUR CHRIST CALLING, THEREBY, ADVANCING HIS KINGDOM.

Affirmations:

I MAKE A FRESH COMMITMENT TO REALIZE MY UNION WITH GOD.

I GIVE MY ATTENTION TO HIS SPIRIT IN MY INNER MAN 

I DETERMINE TO YIELD TO HIS VOICE AND NOT THE VOICES OF THE WORLD OR THE FLESH (SENSES)!

INTO ACTION: What scriptures are you affirming and meditating on TODAY to better understand your Christ identity?
