Christ like

Many of my friends who are not believers, seem to think that being a Christian is the easiest thing in the world. They seem to think that Christians are allowed to do whatever they want. Mostly because the impression given by people who call themselves "Christians".

Sadly many Christians seem to think the same, that since Christ paid for their sins, they can do whatever they want and God will forgive their sins, others unaware of the fact they're even sinning. I wish they could know how much it breaks God's heart even when we say a simple swear word. I wish they could stop for a second and realize that their action is going to cost them ETERNITY.

I was one of those guys who would swear in every sentence that came out of my mouth, not knowing that the speech I'm given is a gift of God, that I could use the same speech to bless others. I'm ashamed to even think that was the life I was living... the number of my sins is difficult for me to even keep count of, but that life is over since my renewal in Christ.

I thank God for being tolerant. He forgives. But He also punishes. And the Word is very clear about that.

We need to live our lives with care and caution making sure we don't fall into pits of temptation. Being a Christian isn't easy as long as we're in flesh, but God also gives strength, I thought I would never be able to break free from sin, but God gave me strength to live a better life. The war is not over however, as long as we're living here there will be forces of temptation.

We need to re-evaluate ourselves and make sure whether we're really living a Christ like life. I wouldn't be the right person to give the best description of what Christ like is, but the description is there, the description is the Jesus Christ Himself.
And I'm still working to be more and more like Him.

Jesus is my Savior.

LOVE



When you love someone, you never have to describe it's kind,' cause that's the freedom that comes for price of true love. You never have to worry about opinion, or being condemned and you never have to fear destroying something that could be misunderstood.. 'Cause if you choose to love the way the Father asks of you to love one another, then u live in truth.. and the truth always powerfully reveals itself for what it really is.. It always defeats everything even every misconceived thought. Love conquers all, even the fear of of it's existence. Just as nothing can separate us from the love Of Christ, similarly nothing can come in the way of LOVE. This is off course if we are careful to acknowledge and live in it's absolute meaning by choosing to act upon it and within it's boundaries. It means that we will not cheapen, or falsify..that we will respect..

So now because we know how to love each person as Love is... we need not feel obliged to describe our kind of affection for different people as love is a self-defined. Though love is one.. the way we love each person is different..and yet in that difference lies the very essence of what love is and of what it is meant to be. We may love each other differently..but at the end of the day.. it all comes down to one word that is so often exploited: LOVE.

When we say we love someone, there is no need to explain on what terms we love them..because when one expresses love, the basis and degree of that love is understood not at the time of declaration (for that belittles that moment) but even before by virtue of relationship.

WORSHIP

The most beautiful thing about our worship is that it cannot be defined or valued by style or kind but only by it's truth and it's spirit.
