| Now, in Gen, when Adam and Eve sinned I bet it really felt like the weight of the world was on their shoulders. They didn't die physically right away, but they didn't want to be naked in front of each other, and they surely didnt want God to see them. I'm sure they thought something along the lines of "o, what have we done?" I was wondering today about how they picked themselves up and were able to raise sons, instead of having the 'woe is me' attitude. when God saw them after they sinned, He responded with grace. His yoke is easy, His burden is light. He lifted the weight of the sin of the whole world off of them as He cursed the serpent. I think that though the whole creation fell, and now the kingdom of darkness was upon the earth, they had the hope of life and light. God rescued them, He made known His promise to them. The Lamb was slain before the beginning of the world, it was only a matter of time before it physically happned. God wanted men and women to walk in faith for a (few/couple) thousand years before Christ. He's been pouring (think about how hard it rains before ppl say its pouring outide) out His grace, love, mercy and compassion. Ever since God created the world He wanted to co- operate with mankind until Christ came.
Now we wait for His returning. | | |
| I'm looking to live a more simple life. I don't have a car, but a car won't fulfill this longing I have deep inside. I don't have a lot of money or a high paying job, and I don't own a home, but those things won't make me feel like I'm someone important. I have a laptop, a pretty expensive camera, a great comfy bed, and a bunch of clothes - none of these fill anything inside of me. They satisfy temporarily. Laptops and cameras are only useful until the next best model comes out (usually within months of the last model.) I get rest in my bed, but usually I don't want to get out of it in the morning. Clothes wear out. What's the point of these things. What's the point of having more?
I just want Jesus.
I just want Jesus. I want His righteousness. I want His peace. I want His joy. I want to store treasures in heaven. I want eternal things. Everything in this world is going to pass away. I would be working in vain if all I had to live for and work for were the things of this world. They are temporary. They are momentary. The Kingdom of God is forever. His life is everlasting. | | |
| so i've been home from Bangladesh for over a month. and for this time period a close christian brother and myself have been in a silent dispute. until today. on friday, my spirit said "i've had enough of this division. it's time for unity in the body of Christ." and i knew that the sermon would be on blessed are the peacemakers for they will be called sons of God. i got to church and listened to the sermon... and God tore down the walls of division. God brought peace in the situation. He is the ultimate divine healer. He is almighty. He is all glorious. He has unity for the church. Jesus prayed for unity. it's a sin to be out of peace and in division with a bro or sis in Christ. we are His BRIDE... who wants to marry only part of a person? not me and i don't want my Jesus to only marry part of His Bride. i believe God is doing this work all around the world. i believe that He is reuniting us into one body, one spirit, one mind. | | |
| 1 Cor 5:2 read it, and without pointing the finger, without being judgmental ... when you see a born again, bible believing christian sin what do you think? do you boast or do you mourn? i've not mourned for a long time. God is changing that. He is changing me. His way is straight and it is narrow. His way is holy, pure and righteous. His way is Jesus Christ. I want to be/live/move/breathe/think/speak in Him. | | |
