On the Flower Moon posting that wasnt, and the concept of the Three Year Ministry.

God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.  [His Son] did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God, and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform.

The sluggard surely does not lay up his nuts, and assuredly Christ packed thousands of years of ministry into his three year stint, as what some say, not only the Savior of the World, but a rabbi at Capernum.

It has been a week: each week, our own three years of ministry.

We appraise and assess our efforts, even still,

while we also rest up and recharge for the week to come.

For so many hours during a few days of the week, I was auditing some of the Internet Missionary efforts, where and how to get most profound expression of the Gospel.  Would I preach to the saved?  Would you preach “what we have heard”?  Would I venture into uncharted space to deliver the Good News to those that had never heard?  Would I do both?

Case in point, the Southeast USA had a full moon a few days ago.  I had a nice AI image of the moon and a canned explanation of the significance of the May full moon.  I went in circles for two days thinking about posting that or not, and if so, where to post it?  X? Facebook?  Telegram?  

I was nearly frozen into total inaction by my own questions.

And finally, whatever enthusiasm I had for the effort drained to nil, and the final result was a meme and short sentence about the Flower Moon.

Awake to righteousness, and sin not.

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.  For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart.  And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are open and laid bare to the eyes of Him with whom we have to do.

Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things.  The things you have learned and received and heard and seen, practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.
