Da Word... 139!

Good Morning!

What up peeps? How are things going? I missed Monday, it was CRAZY. N e who, had a white peach sometime last week. It didn't taste like anything. Matter of fact, it was quite bland and unsatisfying. Got NO enjoyment out of that thing. So much for the peach experiment. See, I thought I'd give them a try after some 15-20 years of avoidance, alas.... it was WACK! heh heh. Any peach lovers out there? Holla at a brutha, edumacate me about peaches cuz right now.... straight cardboard I tell ya, heh heh. Aight, on to... da Word!

checkit:

"Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful."

- Paul (Hebrews 10:23,24)

That's RIGHT! Paul just got done droppin' da 411 about how we have gained straight up personal access to Pops above via da Christ. HUGE news! Regular peeps can enter da Most Holy Place? A spot where back in the day only high priests were allowed to enter... and only once or twice a year? THAT IS ILL POTNAS!!!! With a new way and life opened up to us and havin' da Christ straight representin' us in da presence of Pops, we've got it MADE! So Paul is saying to hold unswervingly to that hope, that we can have tightness with Pops above and be with Pops after passing from this phase of life. And he says, "Let us".... not by yourself, but together, build one another up.

So why can we hold unswervingly to this awesome hope? Cuz da kat who gave us this hope is faithful! What, you think God is gonna lie to us? HAH! Pops has given us this hope, he will def come thru, no question. So why swerve potnas? Why be blown around by every shift in the wind? Why doubt when tough times come? God is a ROCK potnas, straight SOLID. He will not let us down, no way. That hope will never vanish into thin air, cuz Pops himself is the fulfillment of that hope. NICE!

So we can RISE up... I said RISE UP YO! RISE up in the face of anything and stand firm. We can remind each other of this hope, bolstering one another, providing each other strength. That is da hotness potnas. In that exchange, we get tighter with Pops, we gain strength individually, and we develop a deeper sense of community by strengthening one another relationally. Ain't that da bomb?

Aight potnas, PeACE!

G_bless,
