Chip off the Old Block...

This morning when I woke up I had a tug on my heart to talk with my daughter about her faith, as something she said the night before was still working on me. She told me of a game that they were playing at school that had some questions about the bible. She knew all the answers and one of the kids attempted to make fun of her and called her religious. She said I'm not religious and tried to explain the difference but the kid ran away. Of course she was going to use the law (1o Commandments) to convict the kid but he ran away.

We decided that we are getting some bibles that kids would read and she would hand them out to the kids that are searching for God. Now, the coolest thing is that I see her following in the old mans steps and evangelizing those around her with the law and gospel of Jesus Christ. We talked about her friends and the ones that could back her up and she has a plan to deliver the saving message to those that as she put it are like the way she used to be. If it wasn't for this ministry (The Way Of The Master) and my learning the way to truly evangelize, my kids would not know the law which they have since memorized.

Find out for yourself
The Way of the Master

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.

Revolution...

Jesus started a revolution that the religious man has been trying to quell since it started.

Why would the religious man want to quell what Jesus started you might ask?

Because Jesus went against the religious practices and traditions of his time and He still opposes those practices and traditions today. Man wants to create God in his image and have an impotent God he can control instead of the Omnipotent God of the bible. Man does not only want to control God but also his fellow man through religiosity.

Lets use the site of Mount Sinai as an example the Romans called the current site the true site for Mount Sinai but is it?

Consider this video evidence for a different Mount Sinai site;

The Lord bless and keep you;

And be gracious to you;

Religious Sin...

Quick what was the only sin that Jesus confronted publicly?

If you said religious sin then you are 100% right...

Remember the story in John 8 where the woman caught in adultery was brought to Jesus by the Scribes and Pharisee's to be condemned for her sin of adultery as quoted by Leviticus 20:10.

The big question is where was the man with whom the adultery was committed? For the text from Leviticus plainly say's " 'If a man commits adultery with another man's wife—with the wife of his neighbor—both the adulterer and the adulteress must be put to death." So where was the man?

Jesus is writing in the ground as if does not hear them all the while they continued to ask him what should be done. Finally he stands up and says "He who is without sin among you, let him throw a stone at her first."

Jesus then stoops down and writes on the ground while his words convict those that cried for the woman's blood until only the woman and himself are left. Jesus then asks her "Woman where are those accusers of yours? Has no one condemned you?

Later on the debate with Scribes and Pharisee's continues where in John 8:15 Jesus plainly states this about judgment; "You judge according to the flesh; I judge no one."

Lets all say it together loudly go ahead it's OK no one will judge you "I judge no one". Wow how liberating is that statement lets try it again "I judge no one".

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.

Walking in the Image of God...

The Bible relates in Genesis 1:27 that we are created in the image of God. The image that we see, hear, touch and feel seems so far from God at times. Unless of course we are self-righteous and are the judge, critic and condemner of all our kind. We need not be overly religious to be self-righteous, however it is considered a trait of the religious person almost exclusively.

It is so easy to look at other peoples sin rather than take the long hard look at ourselves. Perhaps this is how denominations were first born. Through conflict, condemnation, criticism and anger. This is not a good foundation for Love which is really what God is all about and what every human being needs, whether we be male or female. Human love is flawed and born out of our own self interest and selfishness. It is a need that consumes us from birth and continues until we are pushing up daisies.

Love covers sins so the bible implies in many a place (Prov. 10:12, James 5:20, 1Peter 4:8).

Here is a good article on WHAT DOES IT MEAN "TO COVER?"

So bottom line God loves us John 3:16 and perhaps if we are completely honest with ourselves and with God. That we truly want to believe in Jesus Christ, because we want to have eternal life, and to selfishly want eternal life. We must understand that our basic human nature is selfish and if we can admit that, then we can turn (repent) from it (selfishness) and have the promise of eternal life. along with a new love that comes not from ourselves but from God.

Now imagine God's love lives in you!

Would you have to pretend to love or would it be outrageous and contagious?

You decide!

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.
