It seems Christians are, like Christ...Yes, pastor,<br /><br />It seems Christians are, like Christ's disciples were to Him, God's biggest 'problem.' The deer in the headlights look so many of us have when asked what should be a simple Gospel question is all too common. <br /><br />We, all of us, have got to stop assuming the gospel, and start learning what it is. NOT living it, as so many are wont to say, but knowing it, knowing how to express what it is, and believing what is truly is.<br /><br />1 Corinthians 15 ought to be mandatory reading for all of us on a regular basis.Janis Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02947508427040251166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329600504016968888.post-44847005817671211282009-07-28T14:45:32.717-05:002009-07-28T14:45:32.717-05:00Hello Pastor,
Just a note to say "Hello"...Hello Pastor,<br />Just a note to say "Hello" and to let you know that I enjoy reading your blog. I like especially what you had to say a few posts back about Evangalism, how it is really God's work... it's so easy, where we live, to have this expectation from others to "do more" to "save" to "win" - you know the deal. While I agree it is important to let other's see Christ in me, I am always uncomfortable when it comes to telling others what they "should" be doing when it comes to church, simply because too often I have seen it cause people to, almost, go the other way. I think it leaves them feeling judged. I think more people need to be reminded that they are not in control here. It seems like a competition sometimes.<br />I think that now, more than ever, I am grateful to be able to say that I am a Lutheran, simply because I can then tell others that I am saved only by God's grace and love for me. That, no I didn't raise my hand, I didn't say a little prayer, but that daily I just let God dwell in my heart and do my best to keep the faith.<br />Anyway, I was sure to show Josh your blog as well. We really miss Clarksville and hope to return there someday. Have fun and tell your family hello! Take care ~ HeidiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
