Has anyone else been hearing what I find to be the "new kick" for the Church. The are you a good person, have you ever lied, what does that make you? Oh a lier. Have you ever (all the other commandments)? Then you are a sinner and deserve hell. Speal. I have had enough of it. Really one more person tell me that I am going to hell, maybe that will change my heart and show me the way to build a relationship with the Savior Jesus. I wonder, is his GIFT of eternal life really free or do I need to read the fine print. The fine print that tells me to go out and tell everyone that I encounter that they will be going to hell in a hand basket. Every morning this week I have made a plan to tell everyone I encounter in the way i know how that Jesus loves them and wants to be their friend as well as their Lord and Savior. So Pray for me, I may not be doing it in the "NEW KICK' kind of way, But I will do it in the way that best fits who Jesus is in me. If the Spirit leads me to the "NEW Kick" kind of way, well then its a good thing I have been hearing it everywhere I go so I will know how to best condemn him or her to hell. Click on the first "new Kick" in this entry and you will see what I am talking about.

nick help me out here. What do you say?

Is your faith your own? Is what you believe something that you heard somewhere and thought it was a good idea. It seems to me that anyone can take a scripture and use it to back up what they are saying. Lets think about that for a moment. We can go back to the white people who owned slaves, or even further back about slavery and how they justified what they did with scripture. I was once approached by a friend trying to convert me to his "religion." His wife truely loved me and wanted me to know the "right" way. He also "used" scripture to back him up. Though he did not know where he was getting what he said the Bible said.
Um, not so long ago I was at Bethel University, they had invited the Equality Ride to visit the campus. This is a group of people who claim that Homosexuality is not a sin and they too have scriptures to back them up. So are we using the scriptures to back up things we think are a good idea, things we think sound like what God had in his plan. I have to think more about this.
