Comment on Go big or go home by Brian O

So guest pastor this week….Harlan Kincade from Whitestone Christian. He said two things that stuck with me…. He asked “How many of those who were in service last Sunday really connected with the message of forgiveness.” He also used the example of Easter candy now being half off in the store. That made me think that what you should connect with from the Easter story should cost double after you know the price that was paid….

Thanks Brian…There is so much to be said on this. It’s really at the core of our faith if you think about it.

Well…. I agree. Bring it every single week. Inspire, ignite, inter-act! Don’t miss a chance to reach them. Even if they come twice a year…. reach them and go reach out. A good topic that could really be expounded on. I guess, I wonder why you only come on one or two busy days each year? You might as well come every week… & I do agree it is all our job to reach out. I also agree we must be emotionally connected to each other.

Comment on Jesus didn’t come to make Christians… by Jason Gordon

I’ll start by clarifying my definition. Since the word “Christian” isn’t in the Bible and was a word given to followers of Jesus as a derogetory nickname, I mean it as a group of religious people who mark Jesus off their list each week. Stirring…

Well, that is an interesting thought and I do enjoy the fact that you are “stirring the pot”. I suppose at first I must what definitiion of Christian are you using? If it is what I would term and “American Christian” then no, I don’t think he does. The word Christian is so over used to describe religion and many who compartmentalize Jesus into a once a week church visit. Those who fall under that definition rarely allow the Holy Spirit to work in their lives, and don’t allow their religion to bleed over into personal, work, or entertainment life.

Now, if the definition is “a follower of Christ, such as a disciple to a rabbi”, then I would say yes. Typically speaking, any one who would claim to be Jewish would understand the thought that a rabbi is validated by how well his followers adhere to his teaching. If that is our desire behind being “Christian” then yes I think he would care. That being said, I try to become more aware everyday of how by life as a disciple reflects on the teachings of the Rabbi.

“Have you ever wondered if how you’re living your life is worth Christ’s sacrifice?” Dang that’s powerfully convicting…
