Galatians 6:17

"My generation is gruesomely lonely, but in response, we don’t need another handout, another kind..."

“My generation is gruesomely lonely, but in response, we don’t need another handout, another kind gesture, or a better bible study. We don’t need more people that will merely know our name and address or care for us sporadically and at arms length. We need big, reimagined, Jesus kind of love, and people willing to sacrifice themselves in order to live it with us. We need people who will love us enough to get messy. So be deeply involved. Be covered in someone’s tears. Be the person who gets the call at midnight. Be the person who hears the gory details when someone’s marriage or career falls apart. Be the person who tells someone the hard stuff that they need to hear but no one wants to say. Be the person who repeatedly gets someone else’s mud and blood all over you. Be the person who goes home a little uncomfortable at night, not because of your behavior and thoughts, but because you’ve been near enough to someone else’s. Be a family member to the lonely, messy people of this world, and to my generation.”

- Josh Riebock (via jspark3000)

Instead of condemning people, let’s try to understand them. Let’s try
to figure out why they do what they do. That’s a lot more profitable
and intriguing than criticism; and it breeds sympathy, tolerance and
kindness. “To know all is to forgive all.”

As Dr. Johnson said: “God himself, sir, does not propose to judge
man until the end of his days.”

Why should you and I?

Here’s ONE way to recognize when a person is ready to accept Jesus:

When they like you.

If you’re walking in surrender to Jesus then you are like Jesus in every way.

Your speech. Your actions. Everything.

So if they like you then they like Jesus.

They are ready for the gospel.

Simple.

Memory Box: trust and other foolish things

Memory Box: trust and other foolish things:

ashng:

What wilderness?

I don’t know what it is about trusting people. It usually backfires. People will fail you. People will leave you. People will fall short of expectations. But you need to trust anyway. Because the only thing worse than being in community is being alone.

Every day, I feel the rush…

i feel like there’s a cloud of apathy sitting over me, keeping me from where i wanna be. maybe i need more faith, more fasting, more prayer, more _____. is there a formula to these types of things?

jesus, stir me from this apathy and rhythm of life. disturb me. why doesn’t the weight of the world disturb me? i’m looking for a new standard, God.. i don’t want to live on the faith of yesterdays, and the encounters of the past.

take me deeper, or i’m just running in circles..

wipe the slate clean, that i may see things as if i’m seeing them for the very first time. maybe only then will they hold power to truly move my heart. return me to the simple simple things of relationship with you, but may it be like the very first time i heard you call my name.

I used to hear a lot of girls say, “Ooh, I’m so in LOVE with God!”

It always bothered me…but I couldn’t really put my finger on it. For some reason I just had a very hard time believing that girls…

slaveryfootprint: On Friday night, the Jewish community will...

Tue, 03 Apr 2012 23:19:06 -0400

slaveryfootprint:

On Friday night, the Jewish community will begin celebrating the holiday of Passover. Passover is a celebration of the ancient journey of the Jewish people from slavery to freedom. At this festive meal, Jewish communities re-tell the story of the Exodus and imagine what it was like to live as a slave, never knowing when liberation might come.

Unfortunately, more than 3,000 years after the Jewish Exodus from Egypt and 150 years after the American Civil War, slavery continues. Approximately 27 million people around the world are victims of modern slavery and human trafficking, with tens of thousands here in the United States.

Maimonides, a famous Jewish sage was born on Passover eve in Cordoba, Spain in the 12^th century. In his Mishnah Torah, he wrote… “even if there is no child present…even if there is no matzoh…even if there is no wine…it is commanded that you talk about freedom from slavery…this is the central theme of Passover.”

To support our Jewish constituents, we have partnered with Rabbis for Human Rights to develop a Seder activity, based on our online lifestyle survey. The resource (available to download for free) includes instructions, activity cards, four questions of modern slavery, and action steps to take to work towards a world free of slavery.
