I don't know why
the good Lord want's me to write this blog with the accent being on
Christianity. There are far more people qualified to write one, and
much better skilled!! You know if I'm gonna be honest, and you know
that I will,.........Brutally honest as a matter of a fact. I
fail at being a Christian every day,.....I do something that I
shouldn't be doing!! Sometimes I get on a roll,....Like a snowball
effect,......It grows in mass the farther that it goes on!!
Now I know that
God calls us to strive for perfection, and I know that we will never
achieve it while on this planet. Come on now!! This is one
of those times that I am tempted to say words that prove my inability
to live a Holy life!!
Anyway,......Here
we go with another opportunity to share with you my many misfits!
…..............It is not that I doubt my faith any one bit. The
question came to me the other day of; …..Why do I believe what I
believe? The only problem with that is that I could not satisfy myself
with an answer. As bad as that seems to be,.....It was actually good
in the long run.
Every believer
should know exactly why they believe the way that they do. Actually,
everybody should know why they believe the way that they do no matter
what the belief. Sometimes we believe what we have been taught, and
sometimes that is right, and other times it is wrong. Often times we
believe like our friends believe, and don't have a clue where their
belief came from.
Now I am going to
concentrate on the Christian view from here on out. Often times as
Christians we get caught up in all different kinds of madness. We try
to act like Jesus, but we don't even come close. Did Jesus come to
judge, condemn, or point His Holy finger, and shake it in anger?
Well,..........Did He? I think that we all know the
answer to that is no. So why do we get caught up in that kind of
confusion? And that is exactly what that is is, and our Lord is
not the Author of confusion!! Now is He?
I don't really
know why I write some of the things that I do, but that is for
somebody, if not,....... it is for myself!! I'm guilty!! Maybe I am just
preaching to myself, and if I am I might as well give myself an
AMEN!!
In the effort of
trying to understand why I believe the way that I do I listened to
some atheist talk about why they didn't believe in a God.
Honestly,.....I had to listen more that once, because I started out
judging not listening. The truth is that I had to listen several
times, because I caught myself.............Judging again, and often.
I think that could
be a good test of what kind of a Christian are we when we listen to
an atheist speak. I defiantly failed several times!! Then I listened
to why Christians believe what they believe.
After listening to
both groups say what that they believed. The atheist group helped me
decide why I believe the way that I do the most. I know that has to
sound strange to most Christians, but it's the truth.
The reason that I
believe the way that I believe is the fact that I choose to believe
that way!! It is my choice!! I have the right to choose to believe
anything that I want to believe. It don't matter what anyone else
believes. I simply have to be confident that I made the right choice!!
Now,................As
Christians,.....................What are we called to do?
Love.........Simply love. We love our God first, and in return He
gives us the power to love others. Now ain't that something?? That
is the first two moves that we should make as Christians, and once we
get those two moves down..........Or think that we do. We are to become disciples. Then
we move on to act like Jesus, and we learn how to really treat
people.
We know that no
heart is moved without the presence of the Holy Spirit, so why don't
we just calm down , and plant the seeds that we have been given? That
is all that we as Christians have been called to do. We live by the
choice that we have chosen to live by. We live by the rules that our
Father has given us. We live by the law of love!!
…......................Much Love
