Analogies of the Gospel?

I think we as humans like to compare The Gospel to our own earthly experiences. In truth we will never really find a good analogy to fit the Creation to Gospel story (His-story, History). all of the great analogies that we know today (i.e.  C.S.Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, Chuck Black, and many others) Have real and wonderful applications to the Gospel, however, if you stretch their idea to cover the real thing, you'll find that the real story can't fit into a Box the size we want to make it!

Chew on that a bit and see if you agree with me!

God's soverignty

When we ask “Why God?” are we sinning?

Isaiah 45:9-10
"Woe to the one who quarrels with his Maker—
An earthenware vessel among the vessels of earth!
Will the clay say to the potter, 'What are you doing?'
Or the thing you are making say, 'He has no hands'?
Woe to him who says to a father, 'What are you begetting?'
Or to a woman, 'To what are you giving birth?' "

I think we should seriously consider what we are asking when we ask God why He did something. God’s will may not be clear to us, but we serve an all-knowing and all-loving Lord that will never let us fall out from His grasp. So why should we question Him? Do we know more about life than the one who created it?
Please consider carefully before you question His soverignty.

My last day of being 18!

Tomorrow I will be turning nineteen! The funny thing is that I'm more excited that I'm only one year away from twenty!

Today we started clearing our land for our new house.
I will post some pictures soon!

Trusting (ie. Faith)

What does it mean to Trust?

Webster's dictionary has it this way:
To trust is to place confidence or to depend, (trust in God) (trust to luck)

Now obviously we don't put our trust in luck but we do put our trust in God. We depend on Him for our every breath. We place confidence in God to keep us alive day to day.

But not only do we Trust or have confidence in our life, we must have a faith for our redemption.

All throughout scripture faith has been part of the human race to believe in the super natural. The word faith appears over 247 times from cover to cover. Faith was not always for salvation only.

It was faith that drove the samaritan mother to beg at Jesus feet for the healing of her possessed daughter. It was Abraham's faith that led him to follow the Lord into unknown territory to claim a land that was'nt his based souly on the promises of God. But it is also faith that that brings us to rest in assurabnce that Christ's blood is sufficient to take away our sin and wrongs.
If your Faith is struggling read the psalms today and I guarantee that you will have a faith boost!

New blog!

Hi everyone!
I just wanted to let you all know that I have started a new blog called Standing on the promises of God. It will be a daily blog that will post a promise from God’s word. I will tell you the promise, the book and chapter it came from, but you will have to find out for yourselves to validate it!

I hope you will be edified by it! (Just copy and paste to web address)

P.S. I will still continue my quest for truth so don’t think I abandoned it!

Take a poll please!

Hey guys,
I'm finding it hard to choose my next topic to post. please poll your decision to help me out! =)

The BIGGEST Biblical controversy solved!

Just kidding!
This is part two of my ”What does it really mean to be a Christian” series. Sorry for the random title. :b

Christ commanded us in Matthew 5:48 “be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father in heaven is perfect.” Talk about raising the bar!
Now let’s think about this for a moment. Jesus know that we can’t be perfect, He knows that no-one until heaven will be perfect. He also knows that no-one but himself has ever been perfect. So...

... why such a high and unreachable standard?

Scripture implies that we can’t become perfect, but we sure can come close! We are to strive toward the goal of being perfect. Christ became sin for us and we then become His righteousness. Mind you, we don’t become His righteousness by our own works, but by His brutal death on the cross for us.

Now you might ask why is this so important?
Well Christ also said “Go and sin no more.” Does that mean “well God will forgive me.” Or “I can’t be perfect so I guess I’m just human like everyone else” NOOOO! God forbid and far from it!
It means literally “Go and Sin NO MORE!”

Now don’t get me wrong, I am (like everyone else) far from perfect. Are we going to fail? YES! Are we going to sin repeatedly in some areas? YES! So I don’t judge any one who doesn't live up to this standard. We need to set our eyes on the ultimate goal which is to hear Jesus say,”Well done good and faithful servant!” This honor is reserved for those who by grace strive for perfection.

May we all remember this and keep our eyes on the Cross of Grace!

What does it really mean to be a Christian? (part one)

Hi Y'all,
Sorry that I havent posted since last year (lol):)
I hope this one will be edifying.

I just got thinking, What does it really mean to be a Christian? This part I will discuss the "Ambassador" analogy.
We are supposed to be light in the world an ambassadore from another country or world. we are magistrates of the Living King of Glory! we are to represent Christ to the world, we are to do what He would do in our own lives. This is not a responsibility to take lightly!
We are not to blend in with the world and conform to it's standards. We don't have their laws to bear.

So it comes down to two choices:
Are you a minister of light?
or are you a conforming bastion of darkness and deciet?

God be with you!
