Andy B 2 Minute Video, Look Back, But Don't Fall Over!, Season 4, Episode 51

https://youtu.be/lTLlD5p3Zl8

It’s really healthy to look back at what we’ve accomplished. It’s good to remember what we’ve done, or how we tried to do something last time.

It’s great to reflect on where we’ve done amazing things, and even not so amazing things. It can even be healthy to remember the foolish things we did and managed to escape serious injury.

However, if we look back too long, we end up risking falling over. Because we’re still walking forwards at the time!

Just a thought…

Andy B 2 Minute Video, Tuck and Roll, Season 4, Episode 52

With life it often seems like we have just two choices to make - wrap ourselves in plastic bubble wrap to protect us from falls and pain. Or we can wear a crash helmet and keep charging on!

Actually, I think there is a third option – a little bit of bubble wrap, a crash helmet, and some time planning out what is in front of us.

There’s always gonna be stuff that knocks us for six! However, more frequently if we’d simply taken a pause before charging along, we could have spotted the issues, or busyness, and figured out a better plan or route!

I'm grateful for this app. I can trust the news here. And hear things I can hear nowhere else.

This is a serious threat on free speech! Twitter, Facebook and Instagram lock accounts out and call it hate speech, just because they are inconvenient or speak the truth. You know, even saying that Jesus is the only way to God, or saying God created us to male and female is hate speech. This world is upside down. The Babylon Bee is a satire page, humor! It's ridiculous that you can't even joke about the craziness in our world.

I got a prayer request today originally from a Finnish brother (Risto) about the war in Ukraine. The following is my translation (and I've added those in parentheses):

"The Russian troops have started to deport Ukrainians to Russia from the areas they have conquered. This same thing happened also during the Finnish Winter War (against Sovietunion), when the Finnish warprisoners were deported to Siberia (into labour/concentration camps).
Only God can stop this. Let us pray that God will intervene and stop this, and also that only God's will will happen in the Ukranian war and not the will of the rulers of this world."

I found a link about how Ukrainians are being deported to Russia:

Just saying...

BTJ is providing thousands of hand-cooked meals to refugees.
A BIG THANK YOU to all of our loving supporters who make this possible.

We’re ready!

A picture of Finnish soldiers on skis, with Russian soldiers that are captives, during the Winter War (WWII). @sinbach told about these swift soldiers on skis, on a BTJ podcast episode. He's not the only one who has compared the war in Ukraine, with the Finnish Winter War. Stalin believed Finland would be overtaken in less than 2 weeks, but Finland showed unexpected resitance (just like Ukraine). We stayed independent.

I read this quote by Vlad Savshuk randomly on YouTube and thought it was very good:

"A person can be affected by the power of God (resulting in amazing experiences), but not surrendered to the power of God, which results in a changed life. King Saul is a perfect example of that."

For our friends near Nashville - TOMORROW is the last day of the #SHACKLED book tour with Mariam Ibraheem.
2 Sunday Services with Grace Center Church in Franklin TN is going to be a BLAST. Pastor Jeff Dollar has been a long-time friend and BTJ supporter. CAN'T WAIT!

Today I read about a moral scandal by the founder and leader of one of the most famous denominations in our world. I won't mention his name, because this post is not about it - but it's just an example that strong hierarchies, control, titles or fame etc. can't protect anybody from sinning. A strong relationship with Jesus Christ himself is the best protection. Some say that you can't control people, and make sure they don't fall into sin or heresies in non-hierachical churches, like #housechurches but there is no Biblical proof for that idea. If Jesus Christ is the head of His Church (instead of a dominant leader), and Lord of our lives, things will fall into place. The book Reimagining Church by Frank Viola, focuses a lot on what the Bible says about leadership. A leader serves the people. The most common picture of the ekklesia is family (sisters, brothers), and leadership is being fathers and mothers.
