Scrambled cities: If you're not gonna do the work(on your soul), then you might as well work til you die

 There are two tiers in normal life. Those who are survive and those who thrive.  But nothing is a mistake in life: Nothing comes by chance. You have to prepare for it.  If you thought life was about making money and beating out the Jones's, you've lost already.  Life is: Desire for connection. All unhealthy competition is isolating. We live in an isolated-enough world already. This connection comes from a surprising place: Self-acceptance. A lot of us need to go back to the classroom. A lot of us need to take a silent breather and check in with what we need. This takes serious work. It's the real work. It relies on respect for others and self-respect.  A lot of people in the self-help community try to push the self aside: Manning up is the only side of it they see.

Jacob Prasch Shadows of the beast outline 




In I Thessalonians 5:3, the Apostle Paul exhorts Christians to "pray without ceasing." Pastor Jacob Prasch asks: "How is this possible?" 

Prasch believes that – partly at least – it is possible to pray without ceasing because, as dark and evil as this world may be, we are never without the presence and protection of God. 

This is a theme that is echoed throughout Prasch's teaching, which is aptly summarized in the title of one of his books: "Shadows of the Beast." 

In it, Prasch lays out a biblical case for the idea that – though the Bible clearly foretells an era of great darkness and evil in the last days – we are not left powerless in the face of it. 

Rather, we have been given all the spiritual weapons we need to stand against the devil and his schemes. 

Drawing on both Old and New Testament scriptures, Prasch paints a picture of a world where – though the darkness will grow ever more intense – the light of Christ will also shine ever brighter. 

In the end, it is this light that will overcome the darkness, and those who are faithful to Christ will be vindicated and rewarded.
