A Shift_ has been made!
"The greatest single cause of atheism in the world today
Is Christians who acknowledge Jesus with their lips
Then walk out the door and deny him by their lifestyle.
That is what an unbelieving world simply finds unbelievable."
Profound yet simple! I am not sure if you are an Atheist or a Christian, but either way, I am sure you agree with this to a certain degree. Christian folks do get into this inescapable web of legalism, where adhering to the very acts of Christian living becomes the criteria for being a Christ follower! Thats when a SHIFT_ has been made when following Christ has become a Religion rather than a Relationship! Now the result of this is a blind, irrational ego. And the consequence of this ego is pride. And that is what the world sees! A Christian as a proud, egoistic individual. A SHIFT_ has been made!! How contradictory to what Christ proclaimed!
So all you Christians out there, wake up! When you use the last name of our Saviour and call yourselves Christians, make sure you really are one, in every aspect of trying to be a Christ-Follower and not just your pastor or leader! So be proud that you are a Christian and not because you are a better human being!
A SHIFT_ has been made! Whats yours gonna to be?
Peace!

Amazing Grace
Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me....
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now, I see.
T'was Grace that taught...
my heart to fear.
And Grace, my fears relieved.
How precious did that Grace appear...
the hour I first believed.
Through many dangers, toils and snares...
we have already come.
T'was Grace that brought us safe thus far...
and Grace will lead us home.
The Lord has promised good to me...
His word my hope secures.
He will my shield and portion be...
as long as life endures.
When we've been here ten thousand years...
bright shining as the sun.
We've no less days to sing God's praise...
then when we've first begun.
Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me....
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now, I see.
John Newton, 1772

Law of Non-Contradiction

So what that means is that. no two directly contradictory statements can be true. For example, I can't say, "I was home all day, today" and also say "I was at work all day, today". That makes me either a liar or mentally unstable! This is the basic principle in crime solving too. Once a suspect has established the fact that he/she was elsewhere during the time of the crime and has an alibi to back that up, he/she is not a suspect anymore. (thanks to CSI/Law & Order).
So what's my point? Well here it goes!!!
For all who have the "All roads lead to Rome" attitude towards God, I want you to stop and think! Does all roads really lead to Rome? The Quron says, Christ was merely a prophet! While the Bible says "Christ is the Son of God, Saviour of the World". Hinduism has many Gods, including the Sun, the cow, the snake, while Christianity says, "Christ is the only way, the truth and the life!". Other major religions claim certain facts that are directly contradictory to each other!
Now applying the Law of Non-Contradiction, all can't be true! Only one HAS to be true! So if you think all are the same, and anything works, then you are badly mistaken! Either you are a liar or a nut or just lazy! So today I challenge you to think, ponder and get your facts straight! I did and I found that "Christ works for me". But if you have reasons to think otherwise, then try to prove it to yourself! And if you sincerely seek, I know you WILL find the truth! But just don't tell me "All roads lead to Rome". That just doesnt fly!
“Anyone who denies the law of non-contradiction should be beaten and burned until he admits that to be beaten is not the same as not to be beaten, and to be burned is not the same as not to be burned.”
- (Avicenna, Medieval Philosopher)

Spidey! Spidey!

**********DISCLAIMER**********
If you have'nt seen the movie and intend to see it, stop reading this! Go watch the movie!
And also the notion of forgiveness in this movie! Not only man's unending need to forgive but also the need to be forgiven!
But it was hard to see my man, Topher Grace as one of the bad guys! Yes sir bad "guys"! Plenty of villains in this movie!
So Spidey...good stuff!

Love God Love All
Now thats the kinda love we need to love everyone with! Now wait a minute! Are you telling me I need to love everyone like that? Even the crazy guy from work or the demented driver on the road! Surely not that dude whose aspiration is to see me mortified or my neighbour who thinks that freedom of speech refers to volume! Come on, you can't expect me to love the dude who makes sure he tells me about everything he is better than me at! No way!
Well, nobody said that it was easy, but remember this. There was somebody who loved all! The ones who betrayed HIM, the ones who denied HIM, the ones who spat on HIS face, the ones who stripped HIM, the ones who flogged HIM and even the ones who mortally wounded HIM. So it aint impossible!
John 13:34,35 says:
“I (Jesus) give you a new commandment – to love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. Everyone will know by this that you are my disciples – if you have love for one another.”
For that sake try to love one another! Inspite of the differences, inspite of spiteful words, inspite of conniving motives, inspite of partiality, inspite of violence, inspite of barbaric behaviour, inspite of unfairness, love one another. For by this everyone will know you and I belong to the almighty, all-powerful GOD of the universe.
Peace!

Thank You!
The mystery of the cross I cannot comprehend
The agonies of Calvary
You the perfect Holy One, crushed Your Son
Who drank the bitter cup reserved for me
Your blood has washed away my sin
Jesus, thank You
The Father’s wrath completely satisfied
Jesus, thank You
Once Your enemy, now seated at Your table
Jesus, thank You
By Your perfect sacrifice I’ve been brought near
Your enemy You’ve made Your friend
Pouring out the riches of Your glorious grace
Your mercy and Your kindness know no end
Lover of my soul
I want to live for You
Peace!
