frodo here,
I am under the impression that the God of our universe who with a word created not just this world and everything in, but created man in his own image is bigger than a box. For years I have put and have seen God be put in a box of some sorts. Why is this? why do we think that just because things are being done just like they have been done that this is how its supposed to be. God made some to be apostles some to be teachers and so forth but He gave all of us the ability to move mountains. We are taught that this way or that way is the right way to worship. We complain about the music,the service, or the church in general. But what it all boils down to are we doing and acting in God's plan for us or or plan for God. Sam was critised for vision. But who gave him that vision. if a person uses his gifts and abilities to pursue bringing souls to Christ,is it wrong that that vision is oppisite of the church he attends does the church have a corner market on how God reviels his plan to others. God has giving vision to me as well and has blessed and closed doors. Funny thing is every time he closes a door another opens. This is how i can fingerprint His exisitance in my life and how i know that i am doing what i am supposed to be doing. God throughout the bible took everyday people and made them great because they step out on faith and truly believed that God was who he said he was. Why can't we do the same. I think that alot of people feel SInce the bible was written God does'nt use ordinary people for great things. you must go through seminary if you want to preach. you must have a some type of background if you choose to lead. these are mans rules. If you truly want to follow christ do what he said: love one another like He loves you!
frodo, i like how you ended your blog statement ... love one another like He loves you!
GOD is stirring up the men in my inner and outer circle.
i'm watching a steady movement of men as they head up the mountain, one STEP at a TIME.
ALL I KNOW IS TO GET OUT OF THE WAY!
If you are a man of GOD (pastor)should you talk about others who are trying to spread the word of GOD. Does that show that might be jealous of the people who are trying to spread the good news, or his immaturaity. I think that this person if afraid of loosing another member or the MONEY he might be bring in. It also could be is that he is too set in his ways to see that certin changes are needed but he has not trusted GOD enough to put it in HIS hands to handle the problem. So we all need to get out of HIS way and let Him do what HE needs to do through us to accomplish what HE needs done.
ouch, boromir.
sounds like you needed to vent alright.
motive is definitely key in your blog comment. we probably should BE REAL CAREFUL ANYTIME WE SPEAK OF SOMEONE ELSE.
regardless if they're present or not. tough though, very tough sometimes to keep my mouth zipped.
So some of you have been talking to me about spending time with a female friend even though nothing sexually has happend. some say its wrong while some say its ok. do u think its wrong if she and i or anyone of the other sex and i go out or spend time together? what do u consider a date? do u consider to friends of the oppopsite sex going out to eat, going to a movie or just hanging out as friends a date? if you say yes, please explain y. if you say no, please explain. some of you may not agree with this but she and i will continue to hang out, go out to eat or whatever as friends. do u think its wrong that she and i give each other a hug or even a little kiss on the side of the face or on the forhead and not mean anything sexually by it? is it wrong that she cuts my hair? is it wrong that we call each other "babe" and not mean anything by it? tell me what you think.
several questions ... lets take them one by one.
1. going out with someone WHILE
STILL MARRIED? YES.
2. what is a date? TWO people ,
opposite sex, hanging out.
emotions may or may not be
involved.
3. YES to question involving movie.
why? You're married. yes, you're
in midst of divorce, BUT it
ain't FINAL.
4. KISS AND HUG WRONG? YES.
these friendly items tend to
turn up the testosterone and
UNNECESSARILY & PREMATURELY
awaken sexual stuff. OH YEAH,
YOU'RE STILL MARRIED.
5. CUTS YOUR HAIR? NAH, not unless
you like it when "SHE" touches
your head.
6. USING PET NAMES, LIKE BABE?
i don't think its a good
practice. But it also could be
that i know you're STILL
MARRIED.
it certainly doesn't
help you're JOURNEY of NOT
HAVING ANY HINT OF SEXUAL
IMMORALITY (eph 5:3) in your
CHRIST LIKE WALK.
BOTTOM LINE: YOU NEED TO ACT LIKE
YOU'RE STILL MARRIED EVEN IF
SHE IS TEARING THE COVENANT
APART. YOU REPRESENT. GET
GODLY COUNSEL. GET YOU RIGHT
FIRST- cuz bro you're not there
yet. dude, is your broken
heart healed? Are your girls
ready for daddy to potentially
have a new woman in his life?
you're on a slippery slope...
Please be careful ... thats all.
In your opinion, when do u think that its right for a person in my situation to start talking or even dating other people?
in my UNQUALIFIED, AND OTHERWISE DISQUALIFIED opinion,
i really don't know.
I believe you wait till DIVORCE is final.
i do have a question for ya though
DID SHE BREAK THE COVENANT BY SLEEPING WITH ANOTHER PERSON?
and i'm not talkin about over 5 years ago, 3 years ago, but within the last year.
DID YOU BREAK THE COVENANT WITHIN THE LAST 12 MONTHS.
I know this is the thing for the guys but I just want to see what you guys have to say about this. Lately at school I have been getting harrassed about my religion, the way I choose to dress, and my choice in music by a couple of guys at my school. Today as a matter of fact a girl in my class asked one of them to come sit by her. You wanna know what the guy turned to me and said? He said sorry she is more attractive than you are so I am going to go sit by her. Bormir will know immediately those who are committing such things against me. But my question is how as a Christian girl do I stop them from doing this without comming off as rude or "in the wrong"? I also ask is it wrong for me to let what they say to hurt my feelings even if I don't think that about myself?
welcome to the blog, ms. deborah.
unfortunate situation you're in.
trouble is, whether it's today, next year, or twenty years, you Will have to deal with unpleasant jerks.
As a godly girl, what you DON'T say is almost as IMPORTANT as what you DO SAY.
now jerks, most likely will CONTINUE to be jerks, ESPECIALLY as long as they know they CAN GET A RISE OUT OF YA.
So try , it will be VERY DIFFICULT sometimes, but try to not let them know it gets to you. If it doesn't get to you, then just ignore the jerks.
dress in a way that Honors THE ONE.
listen to music that Doesn't disHONOR THE ONE. and live like you've been doing lately.
Thank you Samewise for your advice.
You helped reaffirm that me just ignoring these guys since 7th grade is the Godly thing to do.
This is in response to Deborah. Just a couple of questions:are these guys friends of yours? Also, is the harassment out of hand where school officials need to be aware of what's going on? Harassment on campus is becoming increasingly more common. Is it distracting you to where you cannot focus on school? Being unaware of all the facts, I can only say that if you acknowledge how much it bothers you to these guys it will become worse. Stop associating with them. Don't even acknowledge they exist. It might bother them more than you think. After a while they will be tired of this little game. Sadly, they will just move on to the next victim. They sound like bullies.
To the person with the female friend:sounds like you've already made up your mind! You don't want to know what a woman thinks! As a woman, if you are calling me babe, kissing my cheek, hugging me and spending time with me, then yeah we are dating! I read what Samwise wrote in response: are you married? If so, why not let things chill until you are divorced? Your behavior shows immaturity. Do you have any male friends you could hang out with? Even if you weren't married, your asking for it by putting yourself in a bad situation.
so i guess where im at the point in life where i should only focus on getting my life on track with God, focusing on my girls and getting my education and forget about trying to "date" a certain women. not trying to make anyone mad by what i just said.
No they are not my friends. They are just people that are in pretty much every class that I in. Even if I told school officials they would do nothing about it. A few teachers would defend me, but it would only make it worse on me. The sad thing about it is that one of them is in the National Honor Society. On a side note I have something to vent on the National Honor Society. I don't understand how a person that constantly harrasses me gets into that. Especially when you have to have good character. I dodn't get in because I didn't have enough community service. That was the only thing that was against me. Now answer this, how is it that a person that the teachers witnessed harrass people day in and day out vote or elect this person? I at least showed and still show good character to others in school.Back to the issue with the guys. I try to ignore them but it seems to only egg them on more. I even have on countless occasions even helped them on their homework when they were struggling. I have even reminded them when things were due for school and many other important events at school. Yet through all my acts of genuine kidness they still continue to treat me this way. What else am I left to do?
If you have children involved in this, why complicate it further? I'm glad you could finally admit it was dating and not skirt the issue. I'm sure this woman that you are so fond of makes you feel good, is nice to you, and you are attracted to her, but is it anything of substance? If it is, then she will wait till you can date her properly. If not, it will just be the first of many women you will parade in front of your girls. They don't need that and neither do you.
To Deborah:
Your quote -- " Now answer this, how is it that a person that the teachers witnessed harrass people day in and day out vote or elect this person?"
I can't answer this question. I can only ask you my own question.
Why does it bother you so?
To Deborah:
Your quote -- "What else am I left to do? "
Nothing. You model Jesus in the day in and day out. Model Him when people are kind and when people are MOST CRUEL.
Model Jesus, when you are NOT rewarded, AND when others WHO SHOULDN'T, well when they are rewared.
in short , keep your eyes on the GOAL. keep your hands on the plow, and MOVE FORWARD.
keep it up, kiddo
Samwise,
The reason it bothers me is because our teachers want us to show character, yet they lack the character when it comes to how their students treat one another. Plus my problems in the past have been because I let what they said go to my head and really get to me and eat at me. It still does time to time but I have so much to live for now that I don't let what they say get to out of hand in my head. Thank you for you wisdom.
you wanna know why i believe you actually are the One who is wise?
YOU ARE THE ONE ASKING QUESTIONS.
I THINK THIS BLOG IS A GOOD THING. SOMETIMES I'M NOT SURE WHAT YOU'RE THINKING, BUT FOR THE MOST PART, YOU ARE RIGHT ON. KEEP IT UP.
thanksgiving to you , anonymous.
we value your and others thoughts and opinions.
