Revealing Christ

There are things your Christian coloring books just can't communicate. We've taken the slaughterhouse out of the sacrifice. We've wiped off the blood and made it into jewelry. "Oh the beauty of the cross!" Really? I've never heard anyone say that when it comes time to take up their own cross.

What do you think about when you see a handicap child? Do you judge God? Do you see them as a blessing or a curse?

When somebody says "it's just love", it makes me want to punch them in the mouth! Seriously though, it's not that easy. While studying this I realized my desperate need to be more like Him.

We have mangled the SOTM by taking most verses out of context. It's amazing how our interpretations contradict what Christ is actually saying. Are we to withhold the pearls of God's kingdom from those we deem as 'unworthy'? Or is Christ telling us not to take the pearls of His kingdom and use them wrongly for personal gain?

The first pages of this book are gold to be mined.

The perfect man and the perfect woman and they ruined it! How did this happen?

Some Christians have lost the desire for the milk. They might make better Muslims than Christians.

Do we put as much effort into loving our enemies as we do hating them? Have we already been won over by the worlds way of fighting? Our hearts have been overtaken and we don't even know it.

God would never be allowed to put you into a position to suffer for your faith, if some of you had your way. Are you more concerned about your rights than you are to submitting to be like Jesus?
