Wondering




I meet rather often people from different backgrounds, sex and ages, who all are for the freedom of speech


They stand up for people who have different opinions, thoughts and Ideas.


When I then say to these people that I believe in Jesus Christ, that he died on the cross for our sins, they cant really cope with that.
They start arguing, question me, in a very aggresive way.

They start joking and asks me silly questions.
I then wonder, Why do they suddenly change their opinion, tolerating another opinion?


Jesus words are true, they cut like a hot knife in butter,perhaps thats why!?

Jesus himself said:
And you will be hated by all for my name’s sake. But the one who endures to the end will be saved. (Mark 13:13)

Amen!

    I think it is very hard for some people to believe in a higher being or power, especially Christianity.

    I went to a Catholic high school, a Catholic college, and now I'm attending a Catholic graduate school. Not because my family believes in a God or gods, but because I think I'm getting a better education.

    So in having over 9 years of Catholic education, I understand the points of Catholicism, still, I cannot find myself to believe in a higher power. I don't think the Bible directly applies to present day life. Also, I find more harm comes from believing in a God then good.

    Did you hear about the recent Bishop that was excommunicated for spending over 40 million dollars of church money on luxury unnecessary updates. I recently read it in the New York Times. I find that funny. So funny. I find more good in people who are good just to be good, then for people who believe in a higher power and that is why they are good. I have been able to witness more corruption in the Catholic church then in any other higher, non-governmental institution.

    If Jesus will save the Bishop for wasting people's money, when it could go to helping people, then I'm sure he can save a non-believer like myself. If there isn't a God, then it's a win-win for me.

      Just to believe in God doesn't make you good.
      There are many people all over the planet that are evil.

      Jesus did not just die for Christians, He died to redeem, reconcile, and ultimately save all mankind.

      God loves everybody, He understands everybody, and He has a covenant with everybody , whether they know it or not.

      Every human being is and was created in the image and likeness of God.

      What is very important for us Christians is to create a personal relationship with God. When we truly repent, believe and create this relationship, when we have Christ living in our heart we don't want to sin, we don't want to do harm. Yes still we see evil things happening, still we see "church folks" do evil, but you know,

      In Gods love is also Gods judgement. In Love is also boundaries.

Debate

A year ago I saw a debate on tv between one Christian British mathematician and philosopher of science named John Lennox and an evolutionary biologist named Richard Dawkins. The two seams to know each other very well and even if they sometimes really disagree on God's existanse they seem to have a rather good relationship. It is a bit pointless to have these debate since none of them want to change their oppinion no matter how wrong or right they might be. As a follower of Christ I support Mr Lennox but I have respects towards mr Dawkins. What stroke me the other day when my wife and I were at the bookstore was the many books written by Richard Dawkins where he really tries hard to convince us that there is no God. If you are absolutely confident that there is no God, why on earth do you have to write all these books!? If people don't believe there is God, why go so hard? You don't believe in Him yet you hate Him. Psalm 14:1 The fool says in his heart, “There

Forgiven

Saul who later on changed his name to Paul was once a dangerous enemy to Christians. He did almost everything to hunt them down. Saul was a cruel man, responsible for the stoning of Stephen. In my view and in many others he deserved to be treated the same way, he deserved to die. But God had another plan for his life. God wanted him to serve as an example of grace (1 Timothy 1:13-16). Jesus reached out to Saul in a direct and startling way (Acts 9, 22, 26). Saul came to realise that the Gospel was true. He recognised the seriousness of his crimes against God On the road to Damascus Jesus revealed himself to Saul who was stunned and afraid but he did what Jesus told him to do. Blind for three days he waited. Imagine how terrified he must have been not be able to see. Not to be able to really understand what was going on. Once so feared but now so vulnerable A man named Ananias was sent by Jesus to lay hands on Saul and when he did so Saul did three specific things that

Task oriented!

I read a small article by Pastor John Ortberg from Menlo Park Presbyterian Church in California. He said that: "If you are a Pastor or a Church leader you have a calling far more important than you may know". Lots of Pastors or leaders are very "task" orientated. "The great danger in ministry is that we think about the task before us in ways that are too small!" Make budget, trying to fill up the church hall every Sunday, launching nice programs, Working hard to make the church and its vision so easy to understand and handle. We have a task all of us. Jesus said: " Go out in the entire world, go and make disciples. "Teach them to obey everything I have commanded you" Lets go out there....
