Proselytizing...

2011-12-01T12:08:00.003-06:00

With the holidays in full gear and the advertising blasting your senses everywhere you go and the meaning of Christmas which to me was never really a fully understood nor supported biblical concept although many Christians think it is. Makes me wonder about our ability to put the blinders on and just continue to trudge forward with no regard to the truth whatsoever.

So I'm outside shovelling the first real snow fall and in weather that is absolutely fabulous for this time of the year. When along comes a fellow that wants to share his faith with me. My first question is what denomination or religion do you represent, his answer "Jehovah Witness" I say well we don't really have much to discuss then do we. Why is that he says?

So I say rather than answer your question how about if I ask you another question? He says go ahead. So I ask "Do you think that God sent His only Son Jesus Christ to the earth to start a new religion called Christianity? He says "Yes I guess in part he did" And I say well then we don't have much to talk about then do we? He continues to press in and asks "why would you say that?" I say well I've asked at least 7,000 people this question in the last three years and I have found out that those that are believers always say "NO" and those that are non-believers always say "YES" its almost like a measurement of a believer.

He then asks if I'm Jewish and I say jokingly only the good part touching my heart, I'm only kidding I'm not jewish. But let me ask you another question? Again he replies go ahead. So I ask "Did Jesus Christ come for the propitiation of mans sins or to start a new religion? Now visualize this; I have my arms up at my sides with the palms facing upwards to represent a scale like the scales of justice. And I say again moving my arms up and down right first "Propitiation" then my left, or "New Religion" he responds and says propitiation. I say thank you for coming out what is your name he says Dave I say Dave nice to meet you my name is Bruce Moar but most people call me BeMore because I can help you be more than you can without me!

He decides that he cant win an argument when dealing with those kinds of truths, so he decides to agree with me and amazingly leaves instead of trying to argue with me. Now I've had many of these types of folks try to convert me before but never has the discussion been so one sided. When you seek the truth it helps you every day...

May...

The Lord bless and keep you;
The Lord make His face shine upon you,
And be gracious to you;
The Lord lift up his countenance upon you,
And give you peace.

Seeing is believing...

But the bible says no one has seen God John 1:18, but if we love one another then God abides in us and His love is perfected in us 1 John 4:12. Love the main theme of much literature in the world and the main theme in the bible as well as the reason we live, laugh, cry, and feel joy. For what is joy without love? If it wasn't for love none of us would be.

God is love but not human love, but the type of love that goes beyond the human bonds of this world past anything you could ever imagine. The reason is; God is higher then our highest thought, He is unseeable and untouchable. However that does not mean He is unlovable. Which brings me to my point. If we say we love God but not each other God calls us liars straight up for how can we love that which we cannot see but not that which we can?

Doing is believing...

2011-11-24T12:05:00.005-06:00

Once upon a time there was a man that heard God calling and decided that he would answer and he answered saying, "Here I am". God planted in his heart a desire from childhood to own a leather bound bible which he went out and purchased. Now he didn't choose the first bible he came across he took several hours in picking the one that was just right for him and that he would read everyday. Happy with his purchase he began to read in earnest and meditate on the word within. As his understanding grew so did his heart, it was becoming bigger it seemed. Almost as if it was being whitewashed. Imagine if you will a heart that is pitch black with a wee tiny little speck that is white within it. The white speck is the love of God growing inside us perfecting us to be more than we could ever imagine.

One day the man is reading his bible at the passage of 2 PETER 1:3-11 and he realized that this was the walk of a believer with all the trimmings. He felt like God was calling him to do more with this, so he prayed saying, "Lord I know you are real but I hardly know anything about you, however if you want me to do this than provide everything I need and I will, Amen." No sooner did he say amen that his wife came in from outside calling his name and saying there was a huge box that was left by the garbage bins with all kinds of bibles, concordances, and books about God. There were books about Greek, Hebrew, dictionaries, concordances, everything that a godly man would need to walk the walk, talk the talk and become that which he thought was impossible. However with god nothing is impossible all we need do is follow through.

Are you following through on you're belief?

Forever...

2011-11-01T12:55:00.002-05:00

They say that forever is a mighty long time. Imagine as we look for the new life in eternity what are you expecting to find? If your negative here will you suddenly be positive there? If your internal speech is not nice, will it suddenly become better? In eternity will you not be you anymore? If your prone to anger and bitterness, will you be sweet and forgiving in the afterlife? Again I ask will you not be you anymore?

They also say we learn by repetition the more we practice the better we get at that which we are practicing. If you learn a new word everyday will it make you a most effective communicator? People like to listen to people they think are smarter than they are. Also if you have all the human credentials it gives you creditability that you know what you're talking about. Right?

Was Gideon a great man of valour before the angel came along and called him that? How about Moses was he good with a crowd? Or Joseph did he understand his own dreams that made his brothers jealous thereby effecting his being sold into slavery? Did Jacob really wrestle with God all that time? Are you wrestling with God? Can you really find God in a book or does he live in the least of us? Should we CAPITALIZE the "G" when we spell god? Is God higher than your highest thought?

Asking questions is natural and everyone does it and I believe that is why we have so much denominational divergence. Because we question what others are trying to establish as tradition. Would you follow someone just because rote tradition says you must? What is rote tradition anyway? Does god or God support rampant denominational divergence among believers?

Are you practicing love everyday? Will you be perfected in love by the final day or will you attempt to make an excuse? Do you love that which you cant see more than that which you can see? People for example you can see, God you cannot...

May...

The Lord bless and keep you;
The Lord make His face shine upon you,
And be gracious to you;
The Lord lift up his countenance upon you,
And give you peace.

Helping Those in Need...

2011-09-26T12:21:00.004-05:00

Helping those in need is a fundamental part of being a believer. A believer that believes that Jesus is the Son of the one true God. Jesus didn't come to start a religion called Christianity he came to help us have compassion for each other. But money gets in the way and succeeds in separating us from each other. I know we are here for only one reason and the reason is to learn how to love each other the way God intended. For if a man says, I love God and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he that loves not his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen?
If you see or are asked to help someone in need do what you can and if you cannot do it yourself recruit others to help you accomplish the task and get it done for even demons do this. Consider Matthew 12:43-45

May...

The Lord bless and keep you;

Thinking Like Jesus...

2011-09-15T09:04:00.004-05:00

I think therefore I am a thinker...

I believe in Jesus Christ therefore I am... A Christian?

Have you ever really asked yourself what it means to believe in Jesus Christ?

Do we know why we are truly here, what is the purpose, are we responsible for others or just ourselves?

How do we think like Jesus?

In order to think like Jesus Christ we need to move past our humanism and trust in the one feeling we all need to survive. The one feeling we are here to master. The one feeling that should be paramount in our minds at all times. The one feeling that will help us understand our questions. The one feeling that allows us to put worth on every person we see. We are all connected by this feeling and without it everything is useless. It is the reason we exist. The reason why we are here. The one feeling we need to practice without words. The feeling that should spur us to action.

Its never to late to learn how to love... Practice Every, Every, Day!

Being a Bad Christian is not BAD at all...

2011-05-05T16:24:00.003-05:00

Bad can be good especially for those that learn to recognize the bad in their lives. We live in a world where around every corner there is someone telling you, they have the goods on living right and living well and for $39.99 they'll let you in on the secret!

The whole getting to know Jesus thing is like that. There is another new improved bible study around every corner, another book with all the secret Christian ways, etc. Meanwhile Jesus continues to say; "I am the way, the truth, the life" and "Whoever believes in me will have eternal life" Jesus also said; "You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which testify of Me. But you are not willing to come to Me that you may have life."

What is the key to learning?

If you answered listening you are 100% right!

Lets listen to Jesus for once and forget about all the people in the temple trying to sell you something. Look past them right at the saviour and start your personal relationship today. Don't delay start TODAY! He's waiting patiently, He holds no grudges, He is real, and He loves you more than you can ever know.

Change...

2011-02-16T13:06:00.003-06:00

Change the world wants you to think it is hard. But is it?

You can't teach an old dog new tricks. Or can you?

Change is constant through our whole living lives from birth right to the doorstep of death. So why does the world want us to be so resistant to change? Are you resistant to change? Lets examine the scripture for examples of change...

EXAMPLE #1

The first example that jumps into my head is the story of Jonah the Prophet. The book is only 4 chapters long, but a lot happens in those four chapters. A brief summary; Chapter 1 - Jonah is sent to Nineveh; he rebels and is punished. Chapter 2 - He repents and is saved from certain death. Chapter 3 - Preaches God's word in Nineveh. Chapter 4 - Becomes angry at God's mercy towards the people of Nineveh. The story ends with a lesson in compassion.

"Justice without Compassion is no justice at all!"

Quote/Bruce W. Moar about mans justice system.

EXAMPLE #2

The second example that jumps to mind is the story of Gideon. An unassuming man that God transforms from a meek coward hiding his threshing efforts to a valiant man of war. A brief summary; Judges chapter 6:11-24, Gideon is called by an angel. Judges chapter 6:25-32 Gideon destroys Baal's altar. Judges chapter 6:36-40, Gideon's call from the Lord is confirmed with a fleece. Judges chapter 7, Gideon's miraculous victory over the Midianites. Judges chapter 8:4-21 Gideon takes revenge on Succoth and Penuel. Judges chapter 8:22-28 Gideon refuses kingship. Judges chapter 8:29-35 Gideon fathers seventy-one sons and dies. The story ends with a fact of how quickly we forget the lessons of the past.

"I will not rule over you, nor shall my son rule over you; the Lord shall rule over you."

Quote/Gideon Judges 8:23

So the question is have we forgotten the lessons of the past and now do what displeases God?

I say yes, what with so many Christian denominations and hostility and judgement of believers towards each other I think we need to change and change quickly.

Renewal...

2011-02-15T14:01:00.003-06:00

Whew!

Is the holidays over now?

Time to get busy and write some words that have been jumping around inside me and wanting to come out. The Bad Christian is injured and has been suffering the last two years with some nerve type issues that are tricky to diagnose. But I have faith it will be over soon and life can return to some kind of normal.

Next; Being a Bad Christian is not all Bad...

Perseverance...

2010-09-08T11:42:00.007-05:00

Perseverance...

The art of staying the course. It embodies loyalty, faith, determination, purpose, and consistency. Remeber the verses that compares our faith to running a race you can find them at;

PSALM 19
ECCLESIASTES 9
1 CORINTHIANS 9
2 TIMOTHY 4
HEBREWS 12

As we run, we must always remember why we run and keep in mind that if we want to see change we must first become the change we want to see. Just like an athlete trains his body and mind so must we, train our bodies and minds in the faith of Jesus Christ. As knowledge set you up for that training, perseverance sets the bar for your success. Knowing why you run is very important to your success of adding perseverance to your faith.

Ask yourself why you believe and internalize it. Then verbalize it and tell others why you believe what you believe and allow them and God to work out the details. Do not conform to the world, rather believe that God can work in anyone just as He has worked in you. Tell your story of why you believe not just for others but for yourself as well. Use it as reminder to add perseverance to your faith.

Next post; Godliness...

Self-Control...

2010-08-27T12:43:00.004-05:00

What is the one and only thing we truly have control over?

When we control ourselves we are exercising our God given right to freedom of choice. Instead of giving in to what we want, we are happy instead with just what we need. But what does the bible teach about self-control?

Consider; Psalm 16

Preserve me, O God, for in You I put my trust.

Trusting in God through Jesus Christ is the beginning of self-control. Self-control demonstrated through our efforts to run to the love of God is by far the best testimony one could have for others. Rather than try to change others we are to conform ourselves to what God intended us to be. And through that transformation become living examples of Self-Control. Not by words but by action. For we are judged at every turn and rather than insisting others conform we must be their example by our own transformation. Well if Uncle Joe can do it, so can I.

Consider reading Romans 6-7

When we recognize that the only thing we can change is ourselves then we can begin to heal and work our way through the rest of The Walk of a Christian with full and awesome knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

We can change no other but ourselves...

Knowledge...

2010-08-17T08:16:00.011-05:00

We live in an age where knowledge is just a a Google away. Last night I was at Starbuck's and ordered a Caramel Machiato. I like to mis-pronounce the fancy smansy beverages on purpose and when the fella making it asked me to clarify I said "the actual proper way to say it is Muchalato and that Starbucks had it all wrong". He say's "what's in a name" I say "interesting where did, what's in a name saying come from?" Not knowing he asks his colleague and she say's I think it was Shakespeare I asked her why she thought that and she say's "I don't know first thing that popped into my mind". So, while buddy is preparing my hot delicious beverage she comes back and say's "I Googled it, it was the Shake from Romeo and Juliet where Juliet says ""What's in a name? That which we call a rose. By any other name would smell as sweet."

Knowledge is available to anyone that will take the liberty and freedom they possess to search for it. However with great knowledge comes great responsibility. Consider that if you knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that a truck was going to hit the blind man whistling and cane waving across the road right in front of you, at what point would you after yelling to him to be aware, and still he continues on his merry way whistling and waving, unaware of his ultimate demise, at what point do you get physical and move him from harms way?

Consider this verse JOHN 6:44

No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him up at the last day.

Interesting verse isn't it? Now lets look at the verses to either side of that one.

43. "Stop grumbling among yourselves," Jesus answered.

44. "No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him up at the last day.

45. It is written in the Prophets: 'They will all be taught by God.' Everyone who listens to the Father and learns from him comes to me.

What were they grumbling about and why did Jesus say what he did and who were they? In order to find out you must read the whole chapter. Please get your bible or go here and read the whole chapter JOHN CHAPTER 6

Alrighty then, all done, lots of information there huh? Now in order to grab an even better understanding one must read the whole book of John. The theme of the book of John is; Knowing God by believing in Jesus Christ. So go ahead open up and begin reading before you continue reading here. If you don't have a bible, then here are several ways to get one into your computer for free.

E-SWORD - The sword of the Lord with an electronic edge

BiblePro for Windows - Free download

Theophilos Bible Software - Multilingual application for bible and Christian study

MacSword - Bible study software for Mac OS X

Now lets go back to the original verse JOHN 6:44 and consider what exactly Jesus is saying there. Is he saying that only those the Father selects and draws may be converted? I think that, that is exactly what he is saying, so none can boast.

There are other passage that can help us to understand such as;

EPHESIANS 2:8-9 - For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast.

ROMANS 3:11-12 - there is no one who understands, no one who seeks God. All have turned away, they have together become worthless; there is no one who does good, not even one.

JOHN 5:39-40 - You diligently study the Scriptures because you think that by them you possess eternal life. These are the Scriptures that testify about me, yet you refuse to come to me to have life.

JOHN 15:18 - If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first.

Virtue...

2010-08-14T02:31:00.008-05:00

There are basically two ways to look at and approach the noun virtue. One is that it is a set of rules and regulations that must be followed in order to attain it. Two virtue is exercised by action and the attaining of it through practice makes perfect. This second way is what the verse at 2nd Peter verse 5 is relating to. For by example is it both taught and attained. One clear and concise observance of virtue in action is worth a thousand thousand lectures or sermons on the topic.

Imagine for a moment if you will that your mind is a steel trap that it is such a good steel trap that it locks up with such ferociousness that anything in it's grasp cannot escape. I have a friend well maybe he is not truly a friend but more like an friendly associate/adherent. He always say's this about the mind "garbage in, garbage out". Now lets try together to apply this concept to our lives.

Lets say someone decides to take out there frustration on us and if we decide to bite back even though we previously were in a good mood. Were we truly in a good mood to begin with? The practice of a virtuous response would be like the commercial of the guy that chews Juicy Fruit bubble gum you know the commercial he gets home and his clothing is ripped his hair is all mussed and he's simply a mess. His sister yells out and says "Mom Billy was chewing Juicy Fruit again". With single minded purpose we must train ourselves to enjoy the fruit of the spirit outlined in Galatians 5:22-23, that which is;

love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.

When we add virtue to our gift of faith we are moving from the unconscious into the conscious realm and making a decision that is both deliberate and purposeful.

Faith...

2010-08-07T09:41:00.004-05:00

Ephesians 2:8-9

⁸. For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,

⁹. not of works, lest anyone should boast.

FAITH is a gift from God so none can boast. Such as; my church is better than your church, my denomination is godlier then yours, or my church is the the only true church, I am a better Christian because of what I do, etc. Faith comes from God and allows us the privilege of believing in Jesus Christ the Son of God Almighty. FAITH is NOT denominational nor does it come through good works of any kind.

Everyone that has lived or is living today has thought about God at some point. This is the seed of FAITH that God has giving to all mankind. When we consciously choose to explore this gift we enter a different realm from the one we have known. It is the realm of God, were we as sinners are loved so much that God sacrificed a part of himself so that we lowly human sinners might have life through Jesus Christ. It is also a realm where a healthy fear of God is born in the repentant sinner so that he/she might finish the good works started in them.

When we first get the revelation of faith or become Christians were we repent of our sin and believe in Jesus Christ the Son of God we are intoxicated with the revelation that faith brings with it to our poor souls. That is the reason why most folks who become Christians are on fire telling everyone the good news, until they begin to loose steam. Here we come to a crossroad the place were the fear of man or fear of God has a battle inside us. If we choose the fear of man we lose because fearing man makes the gift of FAITH neutral or makes us luke-warm believers and unworthy to be called sons of God.

Whereas the fear of God allows us to complete the good work that was started in us through the gift of FAITH. If you have faith and you know it is a gift from God and have thankfully accepted it the I encourage you to add to your FAITH... VIRTUE

The Walk of a Christian...

2010-08-05T18:19:00.008-05:00

Ever had one of those days were you are constantly getting bombarded and your temper is being tested to the verge of EXPLODE? Most of the things that can make us loose it, are things that are simply beyond our control. This is were we get the opportunity to exercise the really only God giving inherent right that exists to all peoples of the world, our SELF-CONTROL.

If you ask anybody this question the answer should more than likely be the same for everyone;

Q. What is the only one thing that you truly have control over?

A. Yourself

In second Peter chapter 1 verse six it says to add to your knowledge SELF-CONTROL something that we must do in our walk as Christians (believers of Jesus Christ) is exercise our SELF-CONTROL daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, throughout our lifetime.

However we are getting ahead of ourselves because all to often we fail to exercise our SELF-CONTROL at some point and loose our tempers. The bible has a sure fire way for us to get control of ourselves and to understand what we as believers must do.

The answer lies at 2 PETER 1:3-11

³. as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue,

⁴. by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

Fruitful Growth in the Faith <--- (most bibles have this heading before verse five)

^5. But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge,

^6. to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness, ⁷. to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love. ⁸. For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

⁹. For he who lacks these things is shortsighted, even to blindness, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins.

^10. Therefore, brethren, be even more diligent to make your call and election sure, for if you do these things you will never stumble; ¹¹. for so an entrance will be supplied to you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Over the next month or so we are going to focus on what we must do to have a fruitful knowledge of Jesus Christ and help make us effective believers in Jesus Christ. So tell your family, friends, and associates to tune in as we delve into what we need to do to be the best believers we can be.

Next post FAITH how do you get it, where does it come from, why you need it, etc...

The Truth Shall Set You Free...

2010-07-05T10:00:00.004-05:00

Life is said to be an accumulation of our own experiences and the experiences of others that can directly/indirectly influence us. Whether those experiences be positive (enjoyable) or negative (endurable/sufferable) they are part of the whole of our being and existence. John Donne (1573-1631) a Jacobean poet and preacher influenced Hemingway... For Whom the Bell Tolls;

No man is an island, entire of itself

every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main

if a clod be washed away by the sea,

Europe is less, as well as if a promontory were,

as well as if a manor of thy friends or of thine own were

any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind

and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls

it tolls for thee.

(Taken from; Meditation #17, "Devotions upon Emergent Occasions")

King David had a plan to construct a temple to house the venerated Ark of the Covenant and the Ten Commandments, which God had given to Moses on Mount Sinai. But God thwarted his plans on the basis that the King had caused to much bloodshed and was an iterate sinner. So King David who was said to be a man after God's heart was judged unworthy by God to build the temple that would house the Ark of the Covenant and the Ten Commandments. So the task fell to his son Solomon whom is said to have had more wisdom than any other man ever in the history of all mankind, even unto today.

But, despite Solomon's great wisdom even he succumbed to a great fall and showed that he too, was after all only human, just like his Dad. The bible says we are all sinners that fall short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23). And that we are justified by the grace of God through Jesus Christ.

Justified to what end?

Lies? A lie told in ignorance is still a lie...

Murder? Any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind...

Deception? The greatest lie every told was convincing the world that the Devil/Satan doesn't exist...

Surely in this time more so than any other time in the history of mankind we have become smarter due to the availability of information at the fingertips of each any every single person world wide. No longer shall we be conformed or relegated to being just what our cultural and societal conditioning says we are to be. We can break free with the whole truth and nothing but the truth so help us God. Also we can own our own thoughts, actions and deeds instead of blaming the Devil for what we do. Let us be accountable for our actions, words and thoughts if not to each other, than surely to God.

We all live in the same world. However within this world there are many degrees of separation. Such as; geography, language, cultural differences, belief, religion, socio-economic position, politics, interests, etc. just to name a few.

These things become hurdles in our effort to unite the body of Christ here on earth. But what about the hurdles we cant see? Should we as believers be worried about these things? Remember the bibles states; We do not wrestle against (flesh and blood) but against principalities, powers, rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.

NOT AGAINST EACH OTHER DO WE WRESTLE...

We are to put on the whole armour of God so we can withstand these beings that are older, smarter and more powerful than us finite human beings. And God assures us that we can stand firm if we only put on this armour to protect us.

Where do you get this armour?

Can you get it from your Pastor/Priest/Spiritual Leader?

How about by going to church every Sunday?

Can you buy this armour through a television ad or a ministry?

Can you make it yourself?

Or is the only way to get it is by studying and understanding the word of God through daily reading, meditating and prayer?

You be the judge share your armour story here if you like....
