Following Jesus: Counting All Else As Loss

Acts 4: 10-1210 We want all of you and all the people to know that this man was made well by the power of Jesus Christ from Nazareth. You crucified him, but God raised him from the dead. This man was crippled, but he is now well and able to stand here before you because of the power of Jesus.
11 Jesus is
‘the stone
12 Jesus is the only One who can save people. No one else in the world is able to save us.”

More Christian Than You Are: Judging Other Christians

More Christian Than You Are 0 October 29, 2012, 0 Comments Romans 2:1 NASB Therefore you have no excuse, everyone of you who passes judgment, for in that which you judge another, you condemn yourself; for you who judge practice the same things. I'm having a hard time right now with my parents, who say they are Christian, and in a very hurtful way, they will tell me that my heart is not right, or that i'm not living my life right, or that my problems are a result of not living a good Christian life. I go to Church regularly, up until recently, I would go to Church with my Mom, while my Dad was out surfing. I've read the Bible 4 times, and I know (or at least I can tell when a verse from the Bible is being cited, and) when someone is making up something that sounds like it should be in the Bible, but it isn't. My Dad doesn't read the Bible. And so, I am basically at odds with people who are stuck in the 80's mentality of how ...

The Little Brown Church in the Vale, Chick-fil-A, & Gay Marriage

In an interview with Baptist Press, Cathy said the company was "guilty as charged" in supporting the "biblical definition of the family unit." “We are a family-owned business, a family-led business, and we are married to our first wives,” said Cathy, the son of company founder S. Truett Cathy. Recently, the issue went even further when Boston's mayor said that he would block Chick-Fil-A from opening in his city. Boston Mayor Thomas Menino told the Boston Herald he would work to block Chick-fil-A from opening a restaurant in the city. “You can’t have a business in the city of Boston that discriminates against a population,” Menino said. The Little Brown Church in the Vale, Chick-fil-A, & Gay Marriage I went to a wedding in Iowa a couple years ago, and found that the Church was this small chapel with some ZZ Top looking ministers who have been doing weddings since 1864. Over 40,000 visitors come to the Little Brown Church each year,...

12 Tribes Means Different Inter-connective Ways To Be Christ-like.

i had a kind of realization today that God works through people. And rather than having monocultures, or having people all act the same, all grasping onto the same way of doing things, the Almighty is at work through many different ways in everyone's life. We have to come to terms with His love in our own time, and in our own way, but there were 12 tribes for a reason, and each disciple was very different in his and her personality, persona and each had a different relationship with Jesus. i think today i realized that we aren't going to fully understand the interconnectivity of it all, until ultimately we get it explained to us in heaven. What can i do with this information? And how much of an epiphany is this anyway. Well, it gives me the power to forgive with an incredible amount of energy because i don't need to figure out what the other person is working on or how God is working within their life. I just need to make sure that I am working with God in my life. I n...
