Real life in Jesus
I was at a meeting about 40 miles away when my mother called me to tell me my aunt had just died. It was a tough drive home, throw in a little traffic. I was trapped in a car so I had to kind of deal with the loss versus rushing on to my next task, burying myself in my work.
I had the radio on to the Christian radio station and the vacuousness of the music struck me, how inappropriate to the real condition of the world. My Aunt was a serious Christian and I have no doubt in the presence of the Lord. Of course that is worthy of rejoicing, but the reality of how frivolous some people can treat our relation with Jesus also became obvious.
Frankly I would be willing to bet many reject Christianity because there are so many who make it look all “happy-clappy, and treat the reality of life in Jesus rather frivolously. When reality hits they reject Christianity because they’ve been used to using it as a magic talisman and not a genuine relationship with Jesus.
I don’t like death. I don’t like that those I love are growing older, becoming sick and dying. But I do know there is an eternal answer in Jesus. It doesn’t mean we have to be all gloom and doom in Jesus because we do have the promise of eternal life in Him. But when we also treat Jesus lightly, make it all “happy-flappy” we do a disservice to Him and to those around us. Jesus is very serious about life He’s not some poofy little caricature, a few minutes of serious Bible reading will reveal that. But let’s not set people up for failure letting them thing being a Christian is all “happy-flappy”. Eternity is and we should take joy in that. But in order to get there we do have to deal with the tragedies of life and still trust in Jesus. Being a Christian is the best that there is. But when you treat it as a candy cane and ignore the realities of life you are just creating a fantasy and not life in Christ.
Why God must exist
Have to admit, did not read it through, but wanted to keep and look back at. Thought it was really well done.
Someone asked me why I believe God must exist. I’ll say right off, this won’t be for everyone. The request came from a comment I made that having been a math major in college and spending 35 years in the computer industry, it’s safe to say that I think logically. And, that even though I didn’t want to, I came to the conclusion that God must exist. So if you’re not into math, this may not get your interest. On the other hand – I’ve been told that it’s possible to skim through the math parts and still get the concepts. (If you’re reading this, Hi again! to ServingJesusHere)

TRAINING PLANS – Jan 2
So much in here I can relate to, I wish I could be much more on the mark with what the writer is talking about and apply it in my own life.
“Have nothing to do with irreverent, silly myths. Rather train yourself for godliness; for while bodily training is of some value, godliness is of value in every way, as it holds promise for the present life and also the life to come.” 1 Timothy 4:7-8
As I languish on the couch with used tissues accumulating around me, I am still sick (AM I SICK), I have been diligently working through my recent Christmas present. I received the book The Triathlete’s Training Bible by Joel Friel.
It only took a few chapters for me to realize that my training could be so much more effective. The training philosophy espoused by Joel Friel is very different than what I have been doing:
An athlete should do
the least amount
of the most specific training
that brings continual improvement.
I have not been following this philosophy. I tend to do random…

A warning on sugar coating the truth
Been way too much sugar-coating, avoiding the truth, trying to “sell” God instead of preaching His perfect, infallible Word. We aren’t doing God, ourselves our anyone who looks to us for Christian leadership by making Christianity less than it is. We have the promises and hope that God gives us, we especially remember that Jesus, God the Son, gave up heaven to live a life like ours. Emmanuel He who is God, but still lived like a humble servant. He served us in His perfect life and freed us in His death that was a sacrifice for all of us. These are hard truths and as Christians we are all called to live that truth, through the trials and through the glories and triumphs too. God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit is a great, serious and powerful God who is guiding us through life so that we will trust and follow Him and be saved in His Son our Lord Jesus the Christ.

The Poetry of Love
It’s so true that we rely on ourselves way too much and God way too little. Does that make sense?
God.
Holy. Almighty.
Saving. Redeeming. Healing.
Born in a manger.
Jesus.
Is there anyone that is good at everything? Who can say they are a gold medal olympian, a top model, famous chef, adoring parent, loving spouse, domestic goddess, star student, classical musician, decorated soldier, theologian, humanitarian, billionaire businessman, and award winning artist? Even the Renaissance man falls short. No one can be everything. No human.
Our worldly competitions are nothing for God. Athlete. He is all powerful. Theologian. He has all knowledge and wisdom. Businessman. All resources are at his disposal. Artist. He formed this very earth and these very bodies that we can only mimic. He knows everything and he can do anything.
Who is a match for God? Why do I daily doubt him? Why do I think that I know better than him? That guy, the one that is perfect at everything loves me with perfect…
