The other day, I wrote for about an hour on the idea:

Life is not fair.

In more ways than one.

But my internet is dumb, kicked me off, and deleted it.

Perhaps I'll get around to rewriting it.

but for now, I just wrote this to a kid on fb and figured hey, might as well share it with ya'll:

in response to this: http://youtu.be/nPIOkdNL-QQ

He said:  Hey, just wanted to say thank you for that video, such an inspiration and I had no clue you were this intimate with God. That is so awesome! Keep on spreading the word 

I replied: 

People often call me a new christian, which I suppose is the truth. but I count it as a blessing. I'd say this summer was when the gospel really hit me. I finally was absolutely broken when my eyes and heart were opened to the fact that I am lost, I am broken, I am dirty rags, I am a sinner, even on my best day, but not with out hope. because my hope and faith and love are in Jesus Christ. I mean, how awesome is it that he straight up took the wrath of God for me? He died, the perfect lamb, sacrificed to atone MY sins. I'm so undeserving if His grace, but because he loves me, He still died for me so that through faith, I might have eternal life in heaven. 



That changed my life man.



but all these 'christians,' man, they're weighing me down. So few are really living sold out for Christ. 



We need to CHANGE.

We need to ask ourselves how different would my life look if I werent a Christian, because for so, so many people, the only thing that would look different is our sunday mornings. and thats not alright.



Is it even possible to call ourselves a Christian, a follower of Christ, an adopted Son or Daughter when our life woudln't show it for a second? I am certainly not God, therefore idk who is and is not saved. but it's a dangerous place for someone to think they're saved when they really aren't.



No, our salvation is NOT by our works, but how can we know and LOVE Jesus Christ and the cross and not be moved? Truth is, I dont think we can.



Even the demons and the devil 'believe' in Jesus Christ, and they are absolutely not going to heaven. Whats the difference if we merely believe in Jesus Christ?



Its about relationship man, not religion.

Lets get RELATIONSHIP.

Lets get REAL.

Lets get RADICAL.





I'm sure I'm preaching to the choir here, but hey, the choir needs to hear it too. ;] 



Feeling really moved. I'm praying that you are as well.

So, I really AM praying that we are all really moved by the cross lately, because if were not, we're wasting our time.

I'm certainly certain however, that we would not be traveling to Africa for selfish reasons.

I love you guys.  I'm praying for our continuted growth in Christ exponentially for us as the dates are nearing.

God willing, about two months from now, we'll be serving Him and furthering His kingdom TOGETHER.

Praising and Loving Him.
