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 need to glorify Him in any which way that I can.


One of those ways could be trying to influence Christians into getting more in touch with the Word. Finding and lovingly debating different ways we as a community can follow Christ much more effectively. But in this manner, i don't have to totally agree with everything that they are doing for or against Christianity. But, I can focus on how my relationship with them is fulfilling my desire to please my maker.

As a whole I think that Christianity needs more Martyrs. We need more CHRISTIANS - hardcore to the bone lovers of Jesus Christ. And I am trying to find it in myself to figure out real quickly what that means for me and how I can still identify with a church which models itself like a business.

One of the major changes I may have to do is put my money where my mouth is. I've been tinkering with the idea of getting LOGOS GOLD - a program that will help me dive in really deeply into the Bible, and enhance my study by leaps and bounds. I'm wondering if spending over a grand on software like this is very Christian of me. I'm also wondering if it is worth it. Should i just be diving into my Bible more, which of course is free?



And then I wonder why i'm typing my thoughts out right now, and not flipping through pages, and bringing myself to supplication and prayer. I want. And i need to find a way to detach myself from the addiction of capitalism and the acquisition of things and wealth.

RE: San Bernardino Shooters Confirmed As Islamic Terrorists

This is in response to this Funker530.com article, and the statement made by ZH below. At this point, our president and his team want this anti gun agenda to happen so bad that he's gonna brush this under the rug. This was terrorist attack. I had a hard time sleeping last night because I have a heavy heart. This event was too close to home. Yeah we can pray for the victims but faith without works is dead. We need to take action as well as praying. We want peace, we have to be the first ones to take the steps towards it. War has been waged on American soil. Prepare for what may come. Have a plan with your loved ones in case of a emergency. Get a gun, bat, knife, machete, some type of protection for your household and educate yourselves and your loved ones about your protection. One love fam. - ZH What is terror exactly? And by that definition is the US Government a terrorist organization? At any rate, while discouraging you of thinking all Muslims are barbaric warmon...

Heart of Worship by Sarah Hernandez (my lil sister)

​​Heart of Worship week 1  by Sarah Hernandez ​ ​If you know me, you know that I love the ocean. It is a very special place for me and I feel a certain peace and closeness with God when I am there. I also surf, so I am very familiar with how the waves work, how the tide ebbs and flows, and the rhythms of the water. One day, while sitting on my surfboard, God gave me a vision of what kind of worship He wants from me, and he used the very thing I love, to illustrate it. I saw myself wading into the water, at first only knee deep, still standing on shore. I was completely content standing on the shore and feeling the water rushing back and forth, gently hitting my knees and back again. But there was a longing for more inside of my soul, to go deeper. I heard the Lord quietly beckon me out further, reminding me that He has everything under control, and to surrender the pre-conceived notions I have about Him and what my worship to Him may look like. Suddenly, I saw my...

Christian Economics

Christian Economics   by Most Rev. Dr. Robert M. Bowman, Presiding Archbishop, United Catholic Church   It is accepted as a given, at least in these United States, that Christianity and Free-Market Capitalism are inseparable. To those on the right, it is an article of faith. "That government governs best which governs least." "Godless Communism." "In God’s order there are no schemes of wealth distribution which under the government forces productive citizens to give the fruit of their labors to those who are nonproductive." (Pat Robertson in  The New World Order , page 228.) Laissez faire, tax cuts, slash government spending, downsize, balanced budget, welfare reform, tax relief, flat tax, deregulation, capital gains tax cuts, eliminate the income tax, disband the IRS — these make up the economic litany of conservative Christians. Capitalism and family values go hand in hand. Even liberals seldom badmouth capitalism. They just want to make it a li...
