Helping Those in Need...

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;
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.

Thinking Like Jesus...

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!

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.

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

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.

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.

Change...

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.

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.

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...

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...

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.
