The Judge

I saw something on Twitter recently which really annoyed me, a man, claiming to be a christian, tweeted to Ricky Gervais that any good and real christian hated him! I can only assume this comment was due to the nature of Ricky's comedy, I won't mention the man's name for confidentiality reasons but I will give you a snippet that the words "Gods Law" was part of it.

I wonder how God feels when we mere specks of dust in comparison to him, take what we like from his written word and twist it and turn it to suit our own selfish opinions and personal gain, trying to in some way envelop the status of judge and completely missing out the other parts of his law like, "Do unto others as you would be done by" "Love your neighbor as yourself" and of course the words of Jesus "Let him who is without sin cast the first stone"
What happened to imitating the Jesus who in meekness and humility let himself be nailed to a cross to pay the price that was owed for our sins, because we are not good or righteous enough to pay it?!

I thank God that I know the Jesus who welcomes and longs for the friendship of all, whatever, whoever.

God's DNA

So here it is something I've been thinking about recently, if God was the beginning of all life, you know in the beginning etc etc, then can we ever be completely separated from him? I mean if we came from him, the beginning of all things, then is there not a link that cannot be forgotten? something irremovable? Sure it is sin that has the power to separate us from God and we feel that at times, but even if we have not accepted God as a part of our lives is something of his DNA still not entwined within the very core of us, of humanity?

I think so.....I think it comes alive when we accept Jesus as our savior, and what we were meant to be starts to become a reality, our new Godly nature coming to the forefront and our broken DNA being healed.
