What happened to Christian transformation – becoming more Christ-like?

What happened to Christian transformation? You know – becoming more Christ-like? It used to be important. But now, does it mean anything more than switching to a church that we like better? One that supports our view of God, the way we created Him? That’s as opposed to a church that teaches and helps us to become more like Jesus. The Jesus Christ who’s the namesake of the Christianity.

Suffering for doing good

A look at ourselves

If you’ve got that feeling to do good things, even with the potential cost to you, with no ulterior motives, with nothing but unselfish love for someone like your elderly neighbors that you’re shopping for, why not acknowledge that’s God? Jesus told us He’d try to get our attention.

Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me.

Why not open that door and start bringing an end to the suffering for doing good?

Beer, biscuits and butter – is that settling for less?

Settling for less

Beer, biscuits and butter – is that settling for less? Some people will ask, “less than what?” Others will just say, “I’m fine with that.” How about you? Is that enough to make you happy? Keep you happy? Or do you want more? A whole lot more?

It seems weird – a site about religion talking about beer, biscuits, butter and bourbon. Relax, I’m not going to get into the evils of drinking and eating unhealthy food.

No, we need to consider something Jesus said. Something we probably just assume means we can eat whatever we want. But Jesus points out a whole new category of things that we should have been watching out for all along. But probably didn’t. Check it out.

Christians – can you accidentally build on rock?

A look at ourselves

Can you accidentally build on rock? If you’re not Christian, you probably won’t get the point of the question. But please, read on. Learn what it’s about and why I ask. If you are Christian, you should get it. But, have you ever really thought about it? Or do you just assume you’re building on rock?

Here’s what “build on rock” is about. It’s something Jesus said. Something about the “wise man”, meaning the one who truly follows Jesus. Someone who believe what Jesus said. In fact, who believes it so much that Jesus’ teachings guide their life. Not just someone who says a few words and hopes they’re saved. Someone who lives out their faith. And their faith is based on what Jesus taught.

Confidence in organized religion hits all-time low in Gallup Poll

A look at ourselves

But let’s look beyond just confidence in organized religion. If you have little to no confidence in your church, you probably won’t be involved there. And for sure – if your not involved in your church – you will be saving Nobody’s soul in that church.
