U + 2PE = 3PE
As I was preparing for this weeks Preaching in Shorts message on the Ministry of Encouragement, I came up with a new equation to help us all remember the foundation of how the ministry works. The equation is U + 2PE = 3PE. Let me solve it for you. The first variable (U) stands for YOU. The second variable (2PE) stands for two people encouraged. The third variable (3PE) stands for three people encouraged. How does the equation work? When you (U) encourage two people (2PE), God because of who He is, will also encourage you, and thereby and therefore three people are encouraged (3PE). So it is easy to see then how U + 2PE = 3PE. You will be interested to note that if you increase the second variable in the equation, (2PE), to say (3PE), then the resulting equation would look like this; U + 3PE = 4PE. You might also find it interesting to note that if you were to encourage children, the equation would look slightly different; U + 2pe (where pe = smaller and younger people) the result is still the same as U + 2pe = 3PE! You might also experience this equation, U + 1PE + 1pe = 3PE which means that you encouraged one adult and one child. It is also worth noting, that if you choose not to encourage anyone the result is as follows U + 0PE = -U where the (-U) is you discouraged. I call this new math encourageomics and I now consider myself an encourageomist. If you have any questions about the new science of encorageomics please feel free to contact me as I am currently the only encourageomist I am aware of. I am looking forward to a whole new crop of encourageomists in the weeks to come.

Very clever Pastor Steve. I am thinking of it as Kingdom math. I am at 6PE so far today.
