Are you weak in the upperstory?



Despite this disturbing poster I am in pretty good spirits. It's a lazy Easter Sunday and what better way to commemorate and celebrate the resurrection of Christ with laying around and enjoying good ol' relaxtion. That's right. Today I am doing nothing, but sleeping, eating, reading, and other unstrenous, but fun activites. Hoopla!

Admidst all my enjoyment and stuffing delicous deep fryed turkey into my face I had a dangerous revelation. If I'm not careful I'm going to forget that not everyone knows the significance of Jesus in their lives. I found myself this morning finding it hard to remember what it was like before I became saved. I just subconsciously kind of assumed that people all knew about Jesus and how he died for every one of us, taking our sins to the cross with him, giving us a way to access God. That is very dangerous. Before Jesus left he gave Christians the command to convert people to christianity and disciple them. I think too many of us have forgotten this commision. Alot of christians think that these commands are only for certain people, but that's not true. No matter what are occupation in life is, no matter where we are, we are called as christians who know the truth to tell other people about it. Not telling people whould be like having the cure for cancer and not ever letting anybody know what it is. Instead of the cure for cancer specifically we know the source to end suffering, give life meaning, we know the one who created all mankind and the earth, we know the one who holds the future in his hands, we know intimately the Father, and it would be a shame for us to sit on that valuable piece of knowledge and not share it with those who still need it. Can you remember what life was like before you were saved? Some of you can't. Some of you have been christians since you were little kids. For those of you who can remember what life was like before you accepted Jesus' sacrifice, before he cleaned you up, and showed you what a relationship with God can do, if you can remember imagine what life would be like not ever knowing. There are people out there that are living that life right now. What are you going to do about it? For those of you who have known your whole life the same applies. Look at the lives of people who don't know and tell them so they can know God and live. If you find yourself looking at the lives of people who don't know Christ and you ask yourself, "What's wrong with their lives, they're just like mine?" Then you might want to do some revaluating. Knowing Christ should change your life and if it doesn't then something is wrong. Seek this out and pray for God to change your heart. We should all feel for those who are still lost, don't let the message of Jesus become meaningless to you. A way to keep it meaningfull is to share it with those who don't have it. Just think about all that.

Wow, well I had other things in mind for this post, but I didn't know I was going to type that long. I guess I'll just have to save those other thought provoking, genius comments to myself. Oh well and I'll bet you really wanted to know how to do a quadrouple backflip and kill a pigeon at the same time. See ya.

Great message brother. I'm glad to see you still have your unwavering faith in Christ. This is Curtis by the way. Keep telling the truth in love man, and Jesus will be glorified. Tell Vickery I said hello. Have a great evening. Oh yeah, that poster at the top was disturbing.
