Do you think there is a disconnect between Jesus and those that go by his name?  Have you found claims made by Christians to be troubling or hard to reconcile with your sense of justice and love?  Have you wanted to discover more about the real Jesus?

If so, check our this series by Herb Montgomery.  It will challenge and inspire.

The Jesus Dialogue.

Arguments Against Evolution*

If we’re so evolved why are we still afraid of spiders?

*The greatest argument against evolution is the human race.

Just Because

Imagine you are dating someone and the two of you are out on a romantic date (if you’re married please imagine you are with your spouse and NOT dating someone). On that date your special person looks into your eyes and says:

“I love you because you fulfill a special purpose in my plans.”

Does that do anything for you? How about this:

“I love you because of your consistency in your behaviour.”

Does that do anything for you? How about this:

“The Lord did not set his heart on you and choose you because you were more numerous than other nations, for you were the smallest of all nations! Rather, it was simply that the Lord loves you… Deuteronomy 7:7-8, NLT

This is the simple and yet utterly profound truth of God: he loves you because he loves you. And it’s in God’s great love where you will discover that he has placed upon you unsurpassable worth.

Hypocrites

When you have been a part of a faith community have you ever noticed how many hypocrites there are?  You probably didn’t notice at first. You probably had to really watch their behaviours and attitudes to see how they weren’t always consistently living up to standards.

Did you also notice how judgmental and self-righteous some people can be?

The easiest/hardest, best/worst, thing about the Bible is applying it to your/my life.

We talk a lot about being tried by fire.

Why couldn’t it be by cotton balls or perhaps cinnamon buns?

If we’re so evolved why do women still drink alcohol and/or smoke when they’re pregnant?

A Major Fault Line – Part 3

One of my favourite authors simultaneously inspires and convicts me. She has a way of talking about kingdom truth that draws me closer and closer to God. I came across some comments she made about fault finding. This is the three of three. (Go to first post or second post.)

“When you are tempted to speak unadvisedly, be on guard. If some one else approaches you with words of criticism regarding one of God’s children, turn a deaf ear to every such word. If you are spoken to harshly, never retaliate. Utter not a word. When under provocation, remember that “silence is eloquence.” Silence is the greatest rebuke that you can possibly give a faultfinder or one whose temper is irritated. Keep your eye fixed on Jesus. Keep your eye on the One who never finds fault with you, only to lay before you perils from which He would deliver you.”—Manuscript 95, 1906, 8-12, 14-17. (“Lesson from Romans 15,” October 20, 1906.) – {7MR 271.3}

“I feel an intense interest regarding every faultfinder; for I know that a quarrelsome disposition will never find entrance into the city of God. Quarrel with yourself, but with no one else; and then be converted. Confess your sins right here where you are, before you return to your homes. With words of confession, humble your hearts before God.” – {7MR 271.2}
