Living by the Book 2008-05-12 23:30:00 I have been reading a really good book by Howard and William Hendricks called Living
By The Book: The Art And Science Of Reading The Bible. I just finished reading chapter 11. In this chapter they suggests that 6 questions be asked when reading a text of scripture. The following is what [...]
Not bad Advise 2008-05-12 11:02:49 ANYWAY
People are unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered.
Love them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish ulterior motives.
Be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some false friends and true enemies.
Succeed anyway.
The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow.
Be good anyway.
Honesty and frankness will make you vulnerable.
Be honest and frank anyway.

Is Community Possible? (comments welcomed) 2008-05-14 00:30:50 “As God’s people, we are a community that is to increasingly embody God’s fullness and kingdom in our daily lives for the sake of the world. This is the Church that Jesus is building” ~Jason Zahariades
Wow, what would this look like? What would it look like to live as a community with one [...] Read more:Possible
Work your tail off for Jesus 2008-05-13 12:38:02 Time is important for a whole lot of different reasons. Some would say that it is not and that nothing we do matters because Jesus
is coming back “soon and very soon.” So what if He is? Would this change the statement of time being important? I don’t think so. [...]
God’s Difficult Ecclesia 2008-05-16 01:29:09 You would think I would be tired of typing. I spent the day typing a paper for one of my classes. I am glad to say that I am done and can focus more on Germany. Next week my team and I leave for Peine, Germany, where we will conduct English conversation [...]
How Green is Walmart? 2008-05-17 23:33:35 Tonight while I stood in line at Walmart
I noticed up on the wall that Walmart was promoting themselves as being Green
. It seems to me that most like to talk about how they are going Green but they don’t actually do anything to change their abuse to the planet. What’s hypocritical about [...]

What leads to peace: War or Jesus? 2008-05-19 19:29:30 I love this quote that is found in the book Everything Must Change, “Twelve-step programs teach that it takes a spiritual program to treat addiction. A student of war will similarly conclude that only a spiritual program can break our world, including the United States, from the addictive high of war—the emotions that put [...] Read more:Jesus
“Is following Christ the same as being a ‘Christian’?” 2008-05-19 13:38:51 My response to Jim Palmer’s question: “Is following Christ
the same as being a ‘Christian
’?”
1.What is a follower of Christ?
When one decides to follow Jesus they should be deciding to become more like Him. They recognize that what He offers is the best possible way to live. Jesus offers grace and forgiveness of our [...]
Baptism by the Book (Bible) 2008-05-21 23:42:49 (I originally posted this with the title of Baptism
by the Book. I added the Bible out to the side just so there is no confusion on what book I am talking about.)
I was asked by another site what my view of baptism is. I believe I concur with the following quote taken [...]
What is a Christian? 2008-05-21 15:12:19 This week there seems to be a theme going on in the land of blogs. I really want to know what you consider a Christian
to be. You can call it a follower of Jesus, Christ, etc. I am not really concerned with the label we put on it. In your experience what is a [...]

Poor Legalist 2008-05-25 10:28:30 Poor legalist. They are really in the numbers game. Let’s see how many converts we can make because if we don’t then people are going to go to hell. Well I do believe that people need Jesus for salvation but that is not all. From what I understand that is all they believe that they [...]
I think there is confusion. 2008-05-27 16:22:35 I think
there is confusion
on what the gospel of Jesus Christ is. Jesus saves us no doubt. This really is the point. Some think they only need to give a person one chance to receive the gospel of Jesus. How sad. They want to shove a track in someone’s [...]
Quote 2008-05-29 08:41:43 “I think that Christianity has two emphasis. One is a social emphasis to impart the values of the kingdom of God in society - to relieve the sufferings of the poor, to stand up for the oppressed, to be a voice for those who have no voice. The other emphasis is to bring people [...] Read more:Quote
Quote #2 2008-06-02 14:27:24 “Only a fraction of our sins are personal. By far the greater part are sins of neglect, sins of default, our social sin, our systemic sin, our economic sin. For these sins Christ died, and continues to die. For these sins Christ atoned, and continues to atone…. As long as evangelism presents a gospel centered [...] Read more:Quote

Mmmmm, thems good eatin! 2008-06-07 04:57:42 Astreja: Become like Jesus? Whatever for?
Dave: Because He is what we should be.
Astreja: Fig trees are quite lovely. No way I would curse one, let alone curse it because it didn’t give Me fruit out of season. It would seem that JesusGawd’s omniscience doesn’t extend to botany.
Dave: You might curse one when you know within [...]
Quote 3 A.W. Tozer 2008-06-10 10:58:36 “Many of us Christians have become extremely skillful in arranging our lives so as to admit the truth of Christianity without being embarrassed by its implications. We arrange things so that we can get on well enough without divine aid, while at the same time ostensibly seeking it. We boast in the Lord [...] Read more:Quote

Braunschweig Tour 2008-06-11 14:54:49 Today my wife and I spent the day in Braunschweig
, Germany. An older German couple gave us a tour of some fascinating sights. We started on the out-skirts and work our way into the city as the day went on. It was interesting to visit a town that helped Hitler become a German citizen. While [...]
Why The Bible? 2008-06-16 09:25:14 What better way to begin the new purpose of this site than with a clip of Ravi and why we can place hope in the Bible.
New Beginnings 2008-06-16 04:38:17 This site has not really had a purpose since I created it some months ago. Well now it does have a purpose. The purpose is in the subtitle. Soon I will begin posting mainly about this purpose. I will still try to have a sermon of the week and posting quotes [...]

Women have worth! 2008-06-17 04:42:03 Sam Harris believes that the Bible gives women no worth. Ravi Zacharias says otherwise. This is very short video that contains more wisdom in 8 minutes than the Sam Harris video over at exchristian.net contains in 70 minutes. Sorry if I offended any Sam Harris fans but that’s not really the point right? Read more:Women
