I recently saw this on facebook, "DONT MAKE FRIENDS WITH GODS ENEMIES". What does this mean? Is this person saying I cannot have friends in a different religion? Is this what Jesus taught us to do?
There is a song by an amazing artist named Todd Agnew, check it out.
So which Jesus do you serve? A Jesus who ignores people of different religions? How are we to reach people of a different religion? Why are we so concerned about making converts? Where has the love gone?
What is God? God is many things. But one important thing to remember is God IS LOVE! Faith, Hope, and Love but what is the greatest? LOVE! If you want to show your beliefs and you want to show people your God, show them LOVE!!!

I have been studying Christian behavior. What I see is blindness. I have been talking a lot to my friend Mark. He is such a joy to have as a friend. But he has brought to my attention some of the stuff that us Christians are doing, which isn’t right.
Like for example, I was on Christian chat and I was helping a new believer with his new faith and relationship. While I was doing this a huge fight broke out between to BELIEVERS about some dogma doctrine that really doesn’t matter. It all just boiled down to each interpretation.
This new believer was shocked at what he was witnessing and Private Messaged me right away. He said, “How can I someone who is looking find answers when were bricking amongst ourselves.” All I could reply back was, “This is from the makings of religion and pride. It has nothing to do with a relationship.”
We all have different views, this make sense since we are all different, and have different backgrounds. Were not all going to agree with ever single little thing. But since we don’t agree doesn’t make one side wrong and the other right. Come on church! When are you going to recognize that we are ALL different. Therefore God isn’t going to treat us all the same!
To prove my point do a little study on Jesus. See how he healed people, some people he spoke “Rise up and walk”, other times he touched the leper (which was considered unclean, and other times he rubbed mud in a blind mans eyes. Now Jesus is God. He could have just thought, be healed. They would have been healed. But why did Jesus treat people differently. (Naa Duh! huh.) Well think about it. Church is a body, with different body parts which have different functions. So of course were going to be different, were going to see things different. Fact is we have one purpose. So quit putting the focus on ourselves and keep pressing forward, start WORKING TOGETHER!
Its about time WE were about OUR fathers business!

Alright! This Blog I am typing is one out of frustration and of sadness. I am so tired of hearing this name. I hear this name EVERYWHERE!! I hear it in chatrooms, I hear it on forums, on my friends blogs, and I even see it on friends profiles. This name strikes confusion on Christians, causes fear, and even keeps some old believers in rekindling there relationship with God. Who is this one person? His name is Richard Dawkins.
I feel almost at a lost when I recently googled this name. I feel angry not at what this man says about my God, but more angry that no one is doing ANYTHING!
I feel like David hearing Goliath threats to God’s armies. “Who is this!? Why is allowed to defy God?" And who is going to do anything about this? Why has the church allowed this man to say these things about our God!? Is anyone going to do anything about this!?
From what I understand many people have tried to stand up to this giant in today’s reality. They have tried to debate with him and lost. WHY!?!!
(please view the video)
Who is this man!? How can he say this about my God!!! Who does he think he is?! Why do the Christians fear this man!? So he is educated, he uses big words, he has gone to all the best schools. People listen to him.
You know what I don’t know much. I didn’t do well in school. I didn’t get the best grades. And if you have been following my blog you know that I don’t have the best grammar let alone the best vocabulary. But if no one else is going to stand up to this 21st century giant I will! My God has my words, God has my courage, God has my strength, and best of all God is one MY SIDE!
Psalm 144
1 Praise be to the LORD my Rock,
who trains my hands for war,
my fingers for battle.
2 He is my loving God and my fortress,
my stronghold and my deliverer,
my shield, in whom I take refuge,
who subdues peoples [a] under me.
3 O LORD, what is man that you care for him,
the son of man that you think of him?
4 Man is like a breath;
his days are like a fleeting shadow.
5 Part your heavens, O LORD, and come down;
touch the mountains, so that they smoke.
6 Send forth lightning and scatter {the enemies};
shoot your arrows and rout them.
7 Reach down your hand from on high;
deliver me and rescue me
from the mighty waters,
from the hands of foreigners
8 whose mouths are full of lies,
whose right hands are deceitful.
9 I will sing a new song to you, O God;
on the ten-stringed lyre I will make music to you,
10 to the One who gives victory to kings,
who delivers his servant David from the deadly sword.
11 Deliver me and rescue me
from the hands of foreigners
whose mouths are full of lies,
whose right hands are deceitful.
12 Then our sons in their youth
will be like well-nurtured plants,
and our daughters will be like pillars
carved to adorn a palace.
13 Our barns will be filled
with every kind of provision.
Our sheep will increase by thousands,
by tens of thousands in our fields;
14 our oxen will draw heavy loads.
There will be no breaching of walls,
no going into captivity,
no cry of distress in our streets.
15 Blessed are the people of whom this is true;
blessed are the people whose God is the LORD.
