The Mobile Bible
I have one on my Android phone as do many Christians I know. How
about you? This infographic provides some amazing statistics on how
many people are using the YouVersion mobile Bible.
The Paradox of Karma
I wonder if many people have really ever thought about the idea of
Karma. The way that I have always understood it, when you did
something selfish, insensitive, rude, cruel, mean, or otherwise
unkind you will accumulate “bad Karma.” On the other hand, when you
do things that are kind, considerate, selfless, caring, loving or
otherwise “good” you will earn “good Karma.” My guess is that this
is the understanding that most people have with regards to Karma. As
I have learned, however, this is not actually an entirely accurate
way to understand Karma.
Emotions vs. Reason
For Easter this year, my family and I were out of town. We ended up
attending Easter services at Central Christian Church in Henderson,
NV. After the opening worship band left the stage, there was a young
man who came out and presented a monologue/poem/rap that highlighted
a good deal of what Christianity is about. I was impressed at the
broad spectrum of doctrine, challenges and truths that were
professed during this brief presentation.
The
God-Man
If you’ve been around Christianity long enough, you’ve probably
heard someone say that Jesus was “fully man and fully God.” Perhaps
you’ve heard some other variation. Perhaps you’ve wondered how that
is possible. Hopefully, at the very least, you took it on faith.
Better than that, hopefully you’ve wrestled with it a bit in order
to get an understanding that you feel comfortable with
intellectually. One way that I have seen this characterized is that
Jesus was “100% man and 100% God.” This, of course, invites a number
of criticisms as some will point out that this is a simple error of
mathematics. You cannot have 200% of a single thing. How can Jesus
be 100% + 100%. Some, more sophisticated skeptics, might argue that
this violates the Law of Non-Contradiction.
You are too special for Him to forget, too important for Him to neglect, too precious for Him to ignore. That's why He set you before His eyes and crafted you on His palms that He might remember you
forever, as long as He lives. So be not discouraged, Jesus is concerned about you always.
Everything has its wonders, even darkness and silence, and I learn, whatever state I may be in, therein to be content. [Helen Keller]
Another proof of the conquest of a soul for Christ will be found in a real change of life. If the man does not live differently from what he did before, both at home and abroad, his repentance needs to
be repented of and his conversion is a fiction. [Charles Spurgeon]
