Dinner and a Bible, aka the funny things my kids say in front of Jesus.

We only have two eyes. We see what’s in front of us but not the universe around us. We make decisions but only see how it applies to us. God and his angels see more and know more. Trust that we don’t know everything and life will be more peaceful.

Representative Bobo from Colorado infuriated me today. She calls herself a Christian and in front of non-challenging evangelist belts off a joke that goes against everything Christ preached. Why did the evangelist even chuckle? Ludicrous. Even my children know more Bible than her. They are forced to read it with me everyday but still, at least they learn what it means to call yourself a Christian…or not.

So we discussed vomit. Yup, rough plane rides can do that to people. So, fresh on their minds, I explain how God uses that visual.

Wisdom helps success. Helps confidence. Humility and humiliation can be the same occurrence but from different perspectives.

Wisdom is the foundation of all good, perseverance leads to hope, Jesus held data back because our human form and intelligence isn’t enough to understand how God built the Universe and our place in it.

We need to get into the heart of Christ’s message. Moses, Paul, Peter, and the other prophets relayed what they saw and heard. Christ said what God said. If there was an entity on this earth that would have put gay hate in the scriptures, it would be the two biggest religions on earth. Yet there is no hate speech from Jesus that was placed on record, none, zip, only from people that had a preference on what the church should look like. As was there right as leaders but women in general suffered from this point of view more than gay people. Reflect, read, let’s all ask for wisdom including myself.

Don’t teach wisdom is you don’t plan to act wise. It’s worse for your listeners and Jesus.

We read Paul trying to unwind powerful Jewish leaders teachings. That you have to be Jewish first before being a Christian.

Short answer is yes. Money makes you rich but for how long? We discuss how money is an amplifier of who you are. Responsible or not? Appreciative or not? Let’s discuss.

Feeding and clothing the poor is a requirement when judgment comes. This includes visiting them. My kids and I talk about the service and actions Jesus needs us to do for stewardship consideration.
