PERFECTION...

What do you see when you hear this word "perfect" or what do imagine when you see this word "perfection"?

We as Christians believers in Jesus Christ the Son of God who with; finality, did give His life for us. So that we may have life and have it more abundantly. As believers our core understanding is that Christ became the propitiation of all mens sins. Which is; He took our place upon the cross He died so we might live, and live more abundantly than before.

Before what?

Before, when we did not know Christ or know his voice. Before we understood that through the act of repentance and the gift of FAITH from God so that none could boast that they are better than any other believer anywhere. We may also understand that we are truly being perfected in Love so that we may shed the world and its ways of judgement and competition. That we may stand up and say with conviction, "Today is a good day to die". Because we live without regret.

I imagine that love is the key ingredient in the getting to go to heaven that when upon that final day we stand before Christ to be judged. And he finds us not wanting because we are full of the Love that he has for us and every person you can see. We are perfected in His Love we took the time to work everyday towards that perfection by not concentrating on others shortcomings. No not others, but our own-selves did we work on. We corrected our own behaviours and lead NOT by word, but by deed, by example.

We learned that loving our immediate family was important and we practiced making every single one of them more important than our own selves. For how could we love others if we did not love our own families? We encouraged each other with love as the motivating factor and gave until it hurt. But give we did each and everyday. And we saw some of our own brethren join us in our journey of being perfected in Love through Jesus Christ the Son of God. And God was pleased and the heavens rejoiced at our effort and perhaps one day we may stand before Christ perfected in the Love He has for all mankind and He will say enter into my rest you faithful servant.

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.

Easy Christian Solutions to LIfe's Problems...

Below is a guest post by Karen Anderson...

Easy Christian Solutions to Life’s Problems

If there’s one thing that can be said with certainty about life, it’s that it is not easy. We are beset with problems at every turn, and not all of them have visible or viable solutions. So unless we learn how to cope with them, we’re going to end up becoming victims of stress. I’ve learned through experience that one of the best ways to deal with stress and reduce its detrimental effects on our life and our health is through religion. Spirituality can work wonders in helping you find solutions to life’s problems, so if you’re looking for answers, here are a few Christian solutions to the common ills that plague you:

· M Money: It’s not an exaggeration to say that the world revolves around money. Without this manmade concept of riches, we would have no life. And even though money is not everything, we do need enough of it to live satisfactorily. So if you’re having money trouble, the best way to get over it is to analyze your spending habits and make the necessary amends. Remember the parable of the talents where God rewarded his servants who had used their money to make more money and punished the one who was too cowardly to invest it wisely? Well, there’s a lesson we can learn from this story – it pays to spend less than what we earn and also put away an amount that accrues interest and will stand us in good stead in the event of a rainy day.

· R Relationships: No man is an island and we need other people for our emotional and sometimes even physical needs. Whenever any relationship in your hits a problem or goes through a bad patch, all you need to do is remember the commandment that says – Love your neighbor as you love yourself – the neighbor here refers to your loved one. And when you love them as much as you love yourself, you see things in a different light. It’s not all about you and you’re able to understand their feelings as well. This positive outlook changes your relationships for the better.

· W Work: To be successful at work and avoid problems at your workplace, all you need to do is take heed of the fourth commandment – Observe the Sabbath as a holy day and work diligently on the other six days of the week. When you follow this to the letter, you not only get all your work done efficiently and on time, you also prevent yourself from falling prey to stress and overwork by taking adequate rest and rejuvenating yourself on Sunday.

Our lives revolve around money, friends, family and work, not necessarily in that order. By using lessons from the Bible wisely, it’s easy to solve any problems we may face.

Family Conflict...

Conflict in families causes undue stress and mental hardship but it is all part and parcel of why we are here. We all love our families Mom, Dad, Sister, Brother, Wife, Husband, Children, Cousin, Auntie, Uncle, etc. Unfortunately our families sometimes have the ability to hurt us. But even if we are hurt do we ever really stop loving them because of the hurt? Or, do we try to convince ourselves that the person we withdraw our love from is not really a person because real people don't act like that? That is exactly what happens in a divorce.

Pain is part of love and so is selfishness...

Wait a minute fella, selfishness part of love, I don't think so buddy, selfishness has no place in love at all! Ah but it does, love is what we all search for, what ties humanity together and definitely what God is all about, because God is Love. We are born into our family and this is the place that we learn about love. We compete for our parents love with our siblings even if that competition is unconscious. Our parents give us love and this is all we know about it. Now what we've learn gets passed on from generation to generation.

So the way your great Grand Daddy loved your Grand Daddy is what you know about love because that's what your Dad and Mom know about it. We need love just like we need food. Imagine this scenario if you will; You are hungry and decide to go to a burger place for supper. Is your decision selfish? The burger place sells burgers for a profit. Is their decision to sell burgers at a profit selfish? The family down the street has no money for bikes but you do is that selfish to have bikes when others do not?

Consider;

Deuteronomy 7:9

Know therefore that the LORD your God is God; he is the faithful God, keeping his covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love him and keep his commands.

God keeps his covenant of love if we love him but the big enigma here is that if we profess love for God but show not that same love towards each other we are called liars by God.

Consider;

1John 4:7-21

Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.

We know that we live in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit. And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in him and he in God. And so we know and rely on the love God has for us.

God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him. In this way, love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment, because in this world we are like him. There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.

We love because he first loved us. If anyone says, "I love God," yet hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen. And he has given us this command: Whoever loves God must also love his brother.

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.

Praying Your Loved Ones into the Kingdom of God...

A play by play blow by blow of an Excited Christian telling a loved one or friend about the gospel of Jesus Christ. Has this happened to you during your tenure as a Christian maybe the only Christian in your family or circle of friends?

Excited Christian
Hey (insert name) have you heard the good news?

Not so excited friend or loved one
No what news?

Excited Christian
Jesus died for your sins!

Not so excited friend or loved one
Ah that's great but we're not gonna talk about religion are we?

Excited Christian
Jesus is the truth and the life man, he died so we could have life!

Not so excited friend or loved one
That's great (insert name) but I told you I don't want to talk about religion please stop I don't want to hear it.

If your a new or salty old Christian odds are you have been through this type of conversation before and it probably made you feel fearful of ever sharing your faith again maybe even almost ashamed. Well I have good news for those of you that would like to spread the good news to others all you really need is a technique. Sort of like before you could walk you had to crawl and before you could run you had to walk.

Learning how to spread the gospel is easy as 1, 2, 3 anyone can do it, you just need to know how. I use The Way of The Master in all my gospel sharing efforts because it leaves no wiggle room for the participants and even if they don't accept Christ right there on the spot, it plants a seed of faith for future harvest by either yourself or another. Now watch as the same Excited Christian uses The Way of The Master technique an ancient biblical technique that by-passes the intellect and reaches directly into the conscious of the participant this is similar to how Jesus did it.

Excited Christian
Hey (insert name) do you consider yourself a good person?

Not so excited friend or loved one
Yes I do

Excited Christian
Have you ever heard of the Ten Commandments?

Not so excited friend or loved one
Sure I have who hasn't?

Excited Christian
Do you know any of them?

Not so excited friend or loved one
Sure - Thou shall not kill, Thou shall not steal, etc.

Excited Christian
How about this one, which is number nine thou shall not lie ever done that no matter how big or small the lie?

Not so excited friend or loved one
Sure everyone has lied!

Excited Christian
What do you call a person that lies?

Not so excited friend or loved one
I guess you would call them a liar!

Excited Christian
How about number eight thou shall not steal, ever done that no matter how little the item?

Not so excited friend or loved one
Yep guilty as charged I have stolen before

Excited Christian
What do you call a person that steals

Not so excited friend or loved one
I guess you would call them a thief

Excited Christian
Here's the one that got me it's number seven thou shall not commit adultery Jesus said in Matthew 5:28 that if we even look at a woman with lust we have already committed adultery with her in his heart, ever done that?

Not so excited friend or loved one
Yes I have but I had my fingers crossed the whole time!

Excited Christian
So what would that make you if you have done that

Not so excited friend or loved one
I guess that would make me an adulterer

Excited Christian
So by your own admission you are a lying, thieving, adulterer at heart and that's only three out of ten, if God judged us on the ten commandments would you go to heaven or hell?

Not so excited friend or loved one
I guess when you say it like that I'd be going to hell

Excited Christian
Does that concern you?

Not so excited friend or loved one
yes it does!

Now you can tell them all about Jesus and what he did for them because they are now ready to hear what you have to say. To see this technique in action in a real life situation click on The Way of The Master banner below...

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.
