Troubled

It is time the body of Christ starts to be proactive instead of reactive, it troubles me to hear people ( Christians and non-Christians ) say how they don't understand how someone could be that evil, how somebody could be that violent, how somebody could steal from that nice old lady, or how did my son get mixed up in this. This world is in need of a reformation prisons are overflowing everywhere, drug, violence, murder, sexual immorality, people trafficking, the list goes on and on. The bottom line is Christians as a whole over time have dropped the ball we are being reactive, when we need to be proactive, we have come to live a life where we have avoided drawing attention to ourselves, it is time we start reaching the youth of this world, teaching them about Christ, it is time we take a stand and let the world know we are here!

Excitement

Recently I've shared something's with a friend and we have both been called to to Gods great work together God has shared with us the same calling pretty much word for word exactly the same, and all I have to say is wow I am so excited I can't express it I'm just in awe of Gods grace, and plans, all I can do is pray to God to die to myself so Christ can live thru me. I am so excited, ready to begin this awesome journey!

Fear

Fear is something we have all experienced from time to time, fear is something that Satan uses against us quite often. Fear comes in so many ways griping use like a vise, keeping us from faith, from success, from love, from a promotion, from marriage, and the list goes on and on. If we continue to let fear grip our lives we'll miss out on what God has in store for us, for Jesus says in the bible Matthew 8:26 (NIV)
[26] He replied, “You of little faith, why are you so afraid?”....... So the next time u feel fear creeping up on you remember this passage remember that God has a plan, remember the footsteps poem, and that he is in control, embrace him and see what kind of exhilarating journey lies ahead.

How do you picture Jesus

Recently somebody I know posted a pic on twitter of Jesus with a bandolier and a gun, and a smoke which we all know Jesus didn't smoke, but this pix inspired me, I thank him for posting. This leaves me with the question of how does the general public picture Jesus, more importantly how does the church portray Jesus, it seams that the perception of Christ is passive sort of wimpish, a push over, but if we read the bible we know this to be inaccurate Christ was passionate, a teacher, a warrior for the kingdom of God, a good example of this is Mark 11:15-17 this shows the passionate side and the warrior side at the same time, shows how Jesus was willing to stand up for what was right and run the money changers out of the temple, this is just one example. So let's be careful to how we portray the image of Jesus to people we come in contact with.
