We love one another.”

hmm, i seem to recall Jesus saying you will know them by their fruits… As a matter of fact that’s a pretty frequent occurrence in the bible.. Does no one wonder nowdays why the angel said His name shall be Jesus and he will save his people from their sins!!!? Thats what he came to do, if you are in sin, REPENT, and he will cleanse you, that you should live a holy, pure life!!!

People, believe the word of God, don’t listen to wolfs with four letters behind their name who have hardened their own hearts..

Go after the Bible to find out what it says about what happend to those who live in sin.. The Gospel is this, LOOK TO JESUS, And he will set you FREE!!! If you need good literature to help you go after the writings of men like AW Tozer, Leonard Ravinhill, Paris Reidhead, CH Spurgin,,,

these are all men who’s life matched up to what the word of God said they should look like,,

He will give you a vegetarian recipe or two. He seems genuinely full of joy.

His name is Bill. He always asks about my daughter and about my choir. He says God Bless and wishes me well. I don’t think he is Christian, but he acts more like it than most Christians I know.

I believe that God will be far more lenient in judgment on those who have never had a personal relationship with Christ or a conversion experience yet who were generous and caring for the physical needs of the world around them than he will be on judging born-again Christians who tithed and attended service regularly and who “cared for the soul of their neighbor” but who did not care for the body of their neighbor.

Absolutely Timothy! Although I disagree with you that the idea is heterodox. Most of the conservative and thoughtful religious folk I know would agree. I think the verse talking about being hot or cold speaks to this.

Do Christians need “more” heroes…really?

And I keep thinking yes. We need them for those who oppose us (to demonstrate what He is really about) and we need them to inspire each other (to become more like Him.)

1. remarkably brave person: somebody who commits an act of remarkable bravery or who has shown an admirable quality such as great courage or strength of character

a war hero

2. somebody admired: somebody who is admired for outstanding qualities or achievements

heroes of the war against poverty

5. food long sandwich: a sandwich made from a long roll or loaf of bread with a filling of meat and cheese with lettuce and tomato

Guess you can tell it’s close to lunchtime here. I think we could use more of those, too. 🙂

I would feel better.
