Community, Loneliness, Africa

 Community is tthe key (Jenkins: Africa's urbanization leads many to seek village-type community, which they find in church). Loneliness is the plague.

Good, bad, third note (chord). Don't forget the chord. You are thae chord. GodTrinity is the chord.

 A great historian has written that in order to understand what happened, one needs to have timelines for each actor.

Psalm 150 with original instruments

 What I've found odd is that congregations often (always) 'sing' or say Psalm 150, without the instruments mentioned there.

Look up 150.
I know that Meyers' wonderful chiasm applies, and that modern instrument can substitute some, but how will we know unless we know the a.? a--What it meant then individually, b. What it meant then corporately, c. How it was fulfilled by/in Jesus. b'. What it means now corporately. a'. What it means now individually.
Love in King Jesus,

PS: Using Bullinger we can begin to get to 'total Bible saturation' in some books, by singing them whole.

Jordan church

 OK, deep background. We're in the Fifth Wave of information, says Gurri in 'The Revolt of the People' This is a key--the first wave was writing, the second alphabet.

Secondly, new technology destroys old groups (ERH) it also enables you to work over a larger space, more quickly. I just got off a Facebook message sequence (in real time!) with a pastor in Africa. He liked my links. He's looking for paper materials.
Thirdly, 'Contagious Disciple Making' (FREE PDF) tells of baptizing a million in a few short years in India (now illegal, said Joost Nixon--converts are starting businesses)

Fourth, one of my health team's 

members 'goes to church' in Tennessee (by internet) and the church has members in Japan and Africa.

But, 5th--Get Ready To Help People Locally. They're Lonely.
More later, if desired.

Love in King Jesus,

PS: 'Africa is the future' (Theopolis publication. God moves from Jerusalem to Antioch, to Rome, to Western Europe, to these uSA (sic) and now elsewhere.

Guthrie Center High School 1962 Fulfilled ERJ's 4

 Mary Jo Stringer Laughery I wa thinking about our Guthrie Center, Iowa class GCHS 1962 Class and Rosenstock, the giant of Harvard/Dartmouth. www.erhfund.org. He held that history had four main social groupings, and I think our education produced goodness in all 4. LeAnn Matlin received for first PhD in nursing (education, Greeks), Ron Magnuson and his wife became the regulators of all the professions in California (givernment, Empires, my weird stuff is more in the Israel area, and we all lived our lives in our respective tribes, informed and formed by GC wisdom. (ERH held that the words on the cross in 3 languages, translated into each tribe's language, showed this. Hmmm??
