So many people think they know the Gospels because they are the same thing...Jesus was born,he did lots of miracles, died, and rose again. There is so much more to them than that (altough that is important). They give an inside look to what Jesus was like and how He treated and loved people. How He showed His grace His serventhood and His obediance towards His Father in Heaven. This is important to know to walk and learn in Christs ways. Phillipians 2:5 says "Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus" God Bless, Lauren Hey Brett,

Last night I prayed about how I wanted to live for Jesus more and desired strength, but I had now idea how. I actually used the words "i feel as if I'm taking two steps forward, and one step back each day." I truly believe the Lord used you to talk to me today. Thank you so much, and God Bless.

Lacking the power to stand, to move forward, and to make a difference in our evil world. We find it so easy to conform to this world and so very difficult to go against the flow. We seem to fall back two steps for every one step we take forward and all our “firm” resolutions turn out short-lived and useless.”

I do not entirely agree with this. We arn’t necessarily called to rebel against culture, neither are we to be of the world. Yeah - it’s one of those love/hate things. We’re in the world, but our citizenship is in heaven. We have desires and dreams like people of this world, but our eternal destination is different.

And there is another case for argument. Who am I to judge a Catholic? Do they not believe that Jesus died and rose for the forgiveness of our sins? In what ways do I myself stray away from the point of the passage just like the worshiping of icons is (according to Reformed thought from what I understand) a disfiguration of the entire God-experience? We all got our falts. I’m not entirely sure of what mine are, but I think a biggie is pride.

Your previous post reads:

“Remember, the time is coming where it will become more and more difficult to avoid sin and more and more necessary to develop the strength of character to resist it, fight it, and conquer it.

The landscape is changing rapidly. We must turn to God and plead with Him to grant us the grace to strengthen our character now, before it’s too late.”

These percieved evils arn’t really the end of the world. I have to agree with a RL friend of mine: the legalization of homosexual marriage won’t be the end of American society as we know it. Just because the evil passes as acceptable in society doesn’t mean we Christians have lost the fight. We have God on our side, like you say.

That’s my response, though. I can see that you may have been going for… seeking after God’s help in the sense of tolerance and understanding of other worldviews, or something? Or am I missing something?

But don’t get me wrong, Alex. Your writing makes me think about my life in perspective. I guess it’s good that I don’t entirely agree with you, because if I did then I think that means I’m brainwashed.

Especially with Easter fast approaching. Great post! “It would be so beneficial if Christians studied the four Gospels more than they do.”
