christian

Christ-ian: a person who exemplifies in his or her life the teachings of Christ.

Today in our society it seems all too often that that word gets garbled and munipulated and sometimes even hated. Being a christian is not just a title like King or President being a Christian is one of Christ is says it in the word. To be a Christian you must be of Christ and exemplify his teachings through the Words he left in the bible. I think to often being a christian just means that your a good person and the total meaning of the word gets totally misused. Christianity has nothing to do with being a good person, it has to do with being a Christ-like person. Being a good person will get you nowhere, The bible says in John 14:6 That Jesus says, I am the way the truth and the life. No one comes to the father exept through me. Good people have nothing on God. Jesus came so that no man could boast of his own good works. Ephesians 2:8-9 says, for it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this is NOT from yourselves, it is the Gift of God-NOT by works, so no one can boast. its in the book its right there. So to all the "Good" people out there, all those christians who think its all about being good its not....its about being better than good, its about being a Christ like person.

Thoughts on cityreach.

wow im in awe of the power and awesomeness of the Creator. God is good. The topic all week was how big is God to you? well after this week there is not a thing that i see that God is not a part of. It is soo awesome to just feel God all around you... its quite humbling. I am forever changed after this week because God uses anyone who is faithfull and wants to serve him, he is not just gonna let you sit there if you have a genuine hunger to do his will. all it takes is faith...even if its a little step though i highly recomend a full jump of faith and i promise you , you will be greatly rewarded

Writing

doing this new free writing activity which really got me thinking, writing is more than scribbles that we write down that turn into words that have meaning. Writing is like the words we forget to say out loud that we remember later when the time has passed. Writing is every thought that your thinking right now. Its the words you wanted to say but didnt , the words you feel deep down in your heart. Writing takes many different "lables" many "feelings" many "descriptions" if you will. Writing is "love" ,writhing is "hate" writing is indiferent. Writing is a book, an essay, even a long kept seceret diary. Writing tells you what is, what isn’t, what might be and what will never be. Writing is a feeling put into words for other people to see. Writing is the beat of your heart translated through words.

For all the thing writing is..... what is it your writing about?
