LifeHiscost Posted February 2, 2016 Posted February 2, 2016 I would say that perfectly agrees with the Word. 1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, 2 Looking unto Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. 3 For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds....Hebrew 12 And if any further evidence is necessary, chapter 11 has some good examples. 6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him....Hebrews 11 God is love!~Jesus saves! Quote Lift Jesus up!!

Moderators Bravus Posted February 3, 2016 Author Moderators Posted February 3, 2016 ? I'm not sure what you 'don't think so'. You don't think we should be like Jesus? Not trying to be difficult or combative, I just don't quite understand what your comment means. It's a gentle joke with a punchline that I stand behind. I did think about whether some might think it is sacrilegious, and if some do I am happy to remove it. Quote Truth is important

Did you read his statement?? It seemed to me he thought he started it!! Bravus 1 Quote phkrause When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan.

aka Posted February 3, 2016 Posted February 3, 2016 The Safeway grocery store in my neighborhood where I lived as a teen-ager had a clean long wall to it's building side. One day I walked by the wall and read "Jesus Saves" on it. Some newbie Christian enthusiast doing their mission work with graffiti paint. A short while later I walked by and had a good chuckle. Someone else had added to make the whole into a complete sentence... "Jesus saves green stamps from Safeway". In addition I wish to share an anecdote of my own. After my baptism no one asked if I owned a bible. No, I did not have one. I was too shy to ask anyone to donate one to me. But mother and I was saving green stamps for many months. We had five stamps books. When looking into the prizes offered in the small pamphlet, I saw a bible offered for five full stamps books. I was so grateful. It was then the first of my eventual bibles as I later got more money to buy more study ones. phkrause, Gail, Naomi and 1 other 4 Quote

Administrators Tom Wetmore Posted February 3, 2016 Administrators Posted February 3, 2016 Back when I was a student in academy I once had to quickly come up with a short devotional to offer during our next concert at the church we were traveling to by bus. As soon as the director asked me I was easily in panic mode blankly staring out the window hoping and desperately praying for some kind of divine inspiration in the short time before we would arrive at the church. As I looked up at the sold rock face of the cut for the highway that had been blasted through a hillside, I saw it. Spray painted on the rock in big letters was "Jesus Saves". And the thought quickly developed in my mind to focus on this God glorifying graffiti so fittingly painted on the solid rock. That saved the day for me!
