Hi all - first of all, we won't have The Journey this Saturday - I'll be in Houston for a speaking gig.
But I do want to continue with our passages on the death of John the Baptizer - and at the same time, I want to do a test of the new Rumble platform. As I understand it, I should be able to do a live stream from Rumble, and have it stream simultaneously here on Locals, so you can watch and participate from either the Rumble or the Locals platform.
Now, I don't really know how this works, and the only way to find out is to test it. (They don't have an instruction manual, after all - remember those?) SO... I am going to do a test of Rumble, and live stream from the Rumble platform and to Locals at the same time, and as always you will also be able to watch the video after the fact, here on Locals, or on Rumble.
So our next session of The Journey will be at a different time. More info coming soon, but look for the live stream to come one week from today, on Tuesday, Jan. 14th, in the evening. That's the plan right now - but I'm open to other suggestions, so feel free to post your comments, suggestions, concerns, etc., right here. Thanks for your patience!
Dear friends - Please take 10 minutes to watch this personal update from me:
I mentioned in The Journey that I wrote a song based on Isaiah 2, which is one of my favorite OT passages:
In days to come, the mountain of the Lord’s house
shall be established as the highest mountain, and raised above the hills.
All nations shall stream toward it. Many peoples shall come and say:
“Come, let us go up to the Lord’s mountain, to the house of the God of Jacob, That he may instruct us in his ways, and we may walk in his paths.” For from Zion shall go forth instruction, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
He shall judge between the nations, and set terms for many peoples.
They shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; One nation shall not raise the sword against another, nor shall they train for war again. House of Jacob, come, let us walk in the light of the Lord!
I hope you like the song!
I hope to have another installment of THE JOURNEY up this Saturday - here's the text for the rest of the chapter - I didn't bother with the colored text since this is all from the Gospel of John.
