Please post your thoughtful comments.This blog starts with the black hole of of the 7 deadly personal sins (Greed, Pride, Envy, Laziness, Lust, Gluttony, Anger) and The 48 Laws of Power; written by Robert Green and Joost Elffers and published by Viking Press.
The Gospel offset alternative to the above can be limited for clarity to John 3:16; Romans 12-14, Galatians 5:22-26; Ephesians 5:10-18; Philippians 2:1-17 and 1John 3:10
to 1John 4:10. These passages are adequate to lead us to the True Power of Giving.
The postings include the above for your review.
The Gospel’s Solution
I wish to introduce This Short Message Form Project.
Writing in short message form is designed to allow everyone to contribute.
To demonstrate with real life stories how the good news gospel of Jesus Christ is the answer to everything. We will attempt to document for world view there is nothing more powerful. the document will compare/match the gospel time and again against the principles of worldly power. This introduction seeks documentation help from Christians using real life stories. Everything in our world is addressed by this good news.
The contentions to be discussed are limited to the above parragraphs. The 7 deadly sins are one post and then each of the 48 laws are another post. The Gospel and it's comparison to the law is one post. You can see we spread out the 48 laws so they can be attacked by the gospel; the 7 deadly sins is just practice in the process of doing so.
John 3:16 is also quoted here as the summary guide; “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him may have eternal life.”
Real life stories we bring by personal experience in this “game on earth” will time and again show the real long term power is unconditional love and giving.Everything in our world is addressed by this good news.
The Gidieon’s bible claims John 3:16 is the most common single posting of a bible verse in the world. Would it not be wonderfully simple to say that verse is the action summary of the Gospel.
When applied to all the sins, we have ever seen in our life, it provides the solution to peace on earth; playing the game on earth; before our salvation from earth.
I would like to think this will be an interesting document. Built to last. As interesting as the 48 Laws of Power.
*The plan (outline) is set
*This effort will build a mental and spiritual mountain compared to the holes on earth left by the stated 48 laws of power.
*Throw human thoughts into the hole to be organized into a mountain by the Christian Church on earth.
*Actual experiences of the positives in our life that come from giving unconditionally because we are unconditionally saved; will focus our actions.
*We will see in this effort nothing more powerful and simple than our belief in justification and sanctification in Jesus Christ which gives us the power.
Obviously I am looking for help with the real life stories. Much ground needs to be covered! Not so obvious is we are looking to give the rewards to a very focused outcome; an impossible expectation to have for our cities without true unconditional giving; requiring face-to-face intervention in our cities. A miracle when completed block by block, School by school and Church by Church. We want the rewards of this effort to support secular delivery of Early Reading Skills to 100% of age 3-6 children before they start kindergarten. this puts them one step closer to equal opportunity to learn.

Will you join me in this prayer before you consider this Short Message Project? Thank you.
Please dear God, in Jesus Christ we ask that you visit our efforts with your Holy Spirit making our efforts adequate for your purpose. We ask that your Holy Spirit give us the strength, wisdom, and fruit to step into the opportunity to witness your gift. We trust your purpose will be served by our effort. Knowing from your revelations of past and present witnesses help us throw off everything that hinders and entangles us in distraction. Please give us confidence and perseverance for the race we have entered. Help us fix our eye on Jesus and do what he would do because we are justified in his death and nothing else. And, we recognize just how ultimate that justification is! Dear God we understand it will be difficult on earth and fully expect the fruit of the Your Spirit as we endure opposition on all sides within this sinful world. Give us strength so we do not grow weary, lose heart or do less than we could. Above all make our efforts one with your purpose for us. Please Lord find it in your will to protect our families and all those close to us and help them see you as the light and ever-living justification.
In Jesus name we pray, thanking you in all that we do for the gift.
Amen.

Also, dear God in Jesus name protect our spirit and the Spirit you deliver to our efforts. Make them non-aggresiveness, humble, and keep our thoughts and actions in all of our efforts community focused. May we demonstrate only appropriate and non-exploitative direction and opportunity. There is much to do together and everyone in the process is needed.
May everything work to Your purpose whether we understand it or not. We have faith and understand we are only Your soldiers on earth.
If there was one thing we could ask it would be to help others in their walk with life see the power of even an earthly gift to be above the law whenever the law seems to present a barrier to progress.
