M Blog: 10 commandments of Jesus

-
fortunately "do not steal" isn't in this list but it is so good that i need to put it all here, but do visit Guy's blog for notes from the mission field.

LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH
ALL YOUR MIND, AND WITH ALL YOUR STRENGTH...YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS
YOURSELF. The Great Commandment: Matthew 22:37-40, Mark 12:28-31.2)

Go therefore
and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father
and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded
you. The Great Commission: Matthew 28:19-20.3)

...love one another. The New
Commandment: John 13:34-35, 15:12.4)

...seek first His kingdom and His
righteousness... The Priority commandment for every believer: Matthew 6:33.5)

...do this in remembrance of Me... The Lord's Supper: Luke 20:14-20, 1
Corinthians 12:23-26.6)

...wash one another's feet...you also should do as I did
to you... The Great Example Commandment: John 13:14-15.7)

Abide in Me... The
Commandment that is the secret to a fruitful life: John 15:4-8.8)

...beseech the
Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest... The only specific
request Christ commanded his disciples to pray besides the Lord's Prayer: Luke
10:2, Matthew 9:38.9)

...do not pass judgment...do not
condemn...pardon...give... General Commandments of Jesus for victorious living:
Luke 6:37-38.10)

...love your enemies...do good to those who hate you...bless
those who curse you...pray for those who mistreat you... Commandments for loving
our enemies: Luke 6:27-36, Matthew 5:43-48.

Christians should not measure their
spiritual maturity based upon their knowledge of the Gospel, but upon their
obedience of what they know of the Gospel. We should never confuse our knowing
the commands of Christ with obeying them in our personal lives. The Christian
walk is not about what we know, but about how much we OBEY what it is we know.

The "do not steal" would apply if it was something belonging to me, but Jesus commands are meant for all his followers. Feel free to make them known to the ends of the earth and thanks for the plug!

Why did Peter put his coat on before jumping in the water? John 21:7

-
I have the great pleasure of facilitating every week a Bible discussion group with several high school students. We've been discussing the Gospel of John  this past year, and we finally finished tonight. We enjoyed the humorous scene John writes about in this last chapter. The great apostle John can't help himself when it comes to embarrassing his fellow inner circle apostle; the denial of Christ, his slowness in getting to the empty tomb, and this event in the last chapter. John 21:7 That disciple whom Jesus loved therefore said to Peter, "It is the Lord!" When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his outer garment, for he was stripped for work, and threw himself into the sea. What's the joke? Well John is the first to realize that Jesus is on the beach, #humblebrag, but then Peter puts ON his coat before jumping out of the boat? I've seen some academic ink spilled trying to explain this weird behavior on the part of this fisherman ( good one ...

I still think the Huffy Star-Spangler would be my ideal bike. I bought a recumbent bike last month from Actionbent and have been using it for my commute. here is a picture of the Jet Stream 2, understeering. i've been a bicycle commuter for years but last summer i developed at work a bad case of tendinitis in both wrists which made riding painful. one day i longed for my old Huffy Star Spangler with the banana seat and the hot rod handle bars and pined for the good old days. then i remembe...

Binishell - concrete dome homes

IM Design has been bringing great housing alternatives to its blog lately. Like this thing. Binishell : These pictures are pretty old, but there are new ones at the new website, Binishells.com . There is similar technology in use in the US used by Monolithic Dome . Monolithic seems to take more work. Bini lays the re-bar in circles on top of the air bladder, but springs run cross wise through that steel. The concrete is poured on the flat bladder and re-bar and springs and then the bladder is inflated before the concrete sets. All the technical details are explained on the older version of the website. Insulation still needs to be added on the dome and a finish coat after that. Monolithic blows up the bladder first, then sets up re-bar inside then insulation is sprayed on then concrete. No matter what, I like domes and round homes .
