In The Wings

I guess life is partisan. Really, the left and the right both seem to be taking turns at taking center stage preforming characterless atrocities. There is more mudslinging then a monster truck rally.

Again, I am always amazed at what the Christian's are saying. Belittling others, saved or not is not becoming; particularly on national TV. Yes, Jesus made strong statements about those who would not do it God's way. But he didn't do it until he had offered them Heaven's best in terms of wisdom, healing and forgiveness.

It has been my experience that God deals with people when He and they are ready. There is certainly a lot of judgement and little grace these days. Paul talked a lot about grace in Romans. He said that God came for us while we sere still in sin... that He would use everything both good and bad in our lives if we would just love Him. How is it that we need to present Jesus so that others fall in love with Him? Jesus said that we shouldn't judge, but the the Spirit would judge all things. Seems pretty simple, don't judge and teach others to love God... and let God do the work.

Politics? There is no place for cat calling and mudslinging. Yes, sometimes we need to tell it like is, but can't we do it with love... once we have shown Heaven's best?

God is Great, Beer is Good, and People are Crazy

There was a discussion on Facebook today about how some people think Christians are "whack jobs." Regardless, God is still great. I don't really know much about beer. I haven't had one in just about 30 years. There are a lot of folks that consider themselves to be Christian. Some because they do good, and others because they have faith in God or are born again-- and others because they grew up in a Christian denomination. Far be it from me to decide who is in, and who is out. Some say we'll be surprised at who is going to be there, and others say who think they are in will be surprised when they are rejected at the Pearly Gates. Hmmm... But let's say you are a real Christian who is feeling passionate about doing something for God. You know something beyond throwing a few bucks in the offering plate and trying to be a good person. The church calls it service or ministry, which could include such things as: reading scriptures on Sunday morning, planning a harves...

Touchdown Jesus! - Vessels of Grace and Channels of Power

My blog title is grammatically correct. Jesus did not get a touchdown, that was the nickname a 62 foot tall, upper torso sculpture, of Jesus was given. The sculpture, off I-75 in southern Ohio, was struck by lightening and burned to the ground. HERE  is the Yahoo News story. I an not going to segue into some prophetic sign of how the End Times are upon is. Much more interesting, and relevant, are the comments on the article by some 3,500+ readers. Here is one by Joshua - "God and Jesus was just made up in a book too. Same with Lucifer and every other angel. Anyone who says Zues is just made up cant prove it. Nor can anyone prove Jesus or God is too. Anyone can write a book and make up some higher being and some poor fools will buy into it." This is one of my favorites from What122: "I wonder if their insurance will cover it, or will the insurance company say it was an act of God?" One commenter characterizes Christianity by using the Bible against itself. Be...
