How to live

October 8, 2009 in Challenges with 0 Comments

Micah 6:8 (The Message)

But he’s already made it plain how to live, what to do,
what God is looking for in men and women.
It’s quite simple: Do what is fair and just to your neighbor,
be compassionate and loyal in your love,
And don’t take yourself too seriously—
take God seriously.

This must be one of my favourite passages in scripture. Micah states this so clearly, on how, we as Christians, need to live our lives. 3 easy steps, with no real thinking needed.

This is, in my opinion, on top of striving to live a holy life, even though we will only be able to get that done the day we ascend into heaven to join God for eternity.

I especially love the part where he says we must not take ourselves too seriously. There is this thing out there that Christians are not allowed to have fun , but I am telling you now, that God loves to have fun, and He wants us to have fun as well. This is not the type of fun we get from being sarcastic to other people, or teaming up on somebody and having fun at their expense. This is such a fine line, and something only God can show and teach us, how to have fun in a godly way.

Christianity in one sentence

September 14, 2009 in Challenges with 0 Comments

Yesterday during our morning church service, Brett Solomon preached about what Christianity should be, and what it has become. Without wanting to go into too many points on his service, he had it all summed up in one sentence…

Christianity is the innocence of man kind…

What this comes down to is that once we accept Christ, and become born again, there is nothing, and I say again, nothing, that we can do to get to heaven. From that point on we are washed clean by the blood of Christ, which He spilled on the cross, and that means that we as mere humans can do nothing out of our own power to get ourselves to heaven.

How do you see this statement, as this is changing my life every minute that I think about it.
