Nobody likes the DMV

I have had my share of DMV experiences and none of them were pleasant

There are always
1 long lines
2 dry customer service
3 irritable customers
4 long waiting times
5 other issues besides what you went there for

Thank God they finally take debit cards because there was a time when they were only doing cash.

This is a survey of how many people actually have a "DMV story"

Let me know

Christians and Other Religions

Hey guys,

I am a Christian and I love Jesus Christ. I do however have a problem with some Christian practices and I have a question...maybe two.

How does God call Christians to engage other faith traditions?
Why are Christians so comfortable openly condemning and criticizing other religions as a means to evangelize?

Anyone have a comment? I mean what does our faith teach us to do?

Talk with Brian McLaren

I just spoke with Brian McLaren author of "A New Kind of Christianity" via skype. This mess was so cool!!

This guy is a nationally and internationally known author. We got to speak about his view on Jesus. I told him about how I interpreted his statement and he caution me to be careful about how you introduce new progressive ideas about Christianity.

I must be honest and say that the conversation was very pleasant. His view on his Christianity is almost inspiring. It seems that progressive theologians can't be true Christains and progressive.

Brian is down to earth and confident in his faith in Christ. I am going to reread his new book and I encourage you to do the same

Will the Church live?

Generation X and the Millennials are not joining churches.

Churches are getting older and in danger of existinction.

people sleep, play gold, exercise, vacation, or get pamphered on sundays instead of service. Has the church lost its groove?

What is the solution to this problem

Your thoughts please

Sex: pornography

Hey

I know this is a taboo subject but I would love for some insight.

Is pornography bad?

Is it a sin to watch/purchase/or masturbate to pornography?

I have always wondered what others thought about this question


Your thoughts Please

The Contextual Jesus!

Two and a half Questions

Why are there so many interpretations of Jesus?


Do you feel like your interpretation is the right/only one? Why

The Real Jesus!

Question: Who is the Real Jesus! Who is Jesus to you? What does he do? What doesn't he do?

Lets face it, the Bible means different things to different people! As a consequence Jesus means different things to different people! This is a known fact.

By what standard to we accept these different meanings as valid? I am frankly saturated with the various views on Jesus, God, and all this other theological theory. How can a new believer know what to believe with all of this variety.

Brian McLaren (brief biography)in his new book A New Kind of Christianity address the different ideas of Jesus through the hilarious and ridiculous comedy "Talladega Nights."

He makes these points

- People are still tempted to define Jesus the way they want Jesus to be

- Old opinion and view will produce Old interpretations and Old applications

- The interpretation of Jesus found in the Book of Revelation (19:11-16) was appropriate for the time that the author was writing. It was also appropriate for the context and challenges of that day

- Jesus in the book of Revelation is the same as Jesus in the Gospels

- Jesus has not adapted to methods of peacemaking that were used by the Greco Roman rulers and government. In other words, Jesus still plans to use peace to bring peace

As a result Mc Laren concludes this:

- All interpretations of Jesus are NOT CORRECT! IN FACT SOME OF THEM ARE UNACCEPTABLE!

- Jesus coming back to KILL IS INACCURATE! (see revelation 19)

- Jesus is strong even though he will not use violence as a means of salvation

Now,

The question still remains....Who is the Real Jesus! Who is Jesus to you?
