So...if Jesus were to come back today, what would He think of His Church? Of us - generally and specifically? You don't have to respond immediately, just take a little time to think about it. Read. We are so quick to answer with emotion that we often sacrifice intellect, honesty, and thoughtfulness. I ask this because I am truly seeking out how I can make myself more useful for the Lord. I know that there are people in our class who are better read, more knowledgeable, and closer to this goal than I am. I would love to hear your thoughts, and perhaps engage in conversations about this and other potentially difficult-to-face topics about our faith in this blog or in person. I read part of Revelation tonight, and came across 22:18-19. Just prior to it, Jesus says "Outside are the dogs...everyone who loves and practices falsehood." Rev 22:15. I can't help but ponder on how we do this regularly as the Church. Thoughts, questions, concerns, complaints, emotional rantings?...
ReplyDeleteKris Chens is David Knowles - I don't know how to get my posts to show up as me instead of a google group that I created about a year ago called "Kris Chens"
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts are posted on my personal blog if anyone is interested. I won't take up space on the common blog for that. But, I will check back and see what other opinions are shared...
ReplyDeleteHi Jacqueline – feel free to post on this blog as much as you like! That's what we created it for! I will also add you both as contributors so you can feel free to actually post, rather than just put comments. :)
