Jesus in a Box

song of the week:

Hillsong Acoustic - This Is Our God

so i saw this @ the store and was like, "WOW, i want 1..."

and u get to thinkin~ why "Jesus in a box" when u can have "Jesus in ur heart"!

forgive my case of Pastoritis, but man, u could preach wit dat!

i remember someone once told me i need to step out of my "Christian bubble", a bit aggravated and offended, i responded, "y? so i can be like u?"

not so crudely of course....

but in regard to my point of this blog,

sometimes i tend to put God in a box and disregard the importance of representing him in my heart~

people judge, Christians judge, people mock, Christians mock, people curse, Christians curse

difference btwn the world and Christians? not much.

This morning, my roommate Curtis and i have committed to spending 10 - 10:30 AM everyday doing bible study and spending that quiet time w God.

Starting our day with the Lord just helps make the day go by that much easier and there's always a lesson or something that God wants us to know each and everyday believe it or not, it is amazing.

As we're going thru Galatians we're seeing people who TWIST and MANIPULATE the gospel the way they want in order to please themselves and everyone else but God, placing "Jesus in a box".

"You are salt of the earth... you are the light of the world"

Matt 5:13-14

Goal of the week- take Jesus out the box (hm, that would make a good song)

some food for thought,

“I am coming to you now, but I say these things while I am still in the world, so that they may have the full measure of my joy within them. I have given them your word and the world has hated them, for they are not of the world any more than I am of the world. My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one. They are not of the world, even as I am not of it. Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth. As you sent me into the world, I have sent them into the world. For them I sanctify myself, that they too may be truly sanctified."

- John 17:13-19
