(can we actually give God what He made and owns anyway?)<BR/>oohh and rules taught by men... idk it seems that is something that struck a chord with me so to speak.. but now i dont know why. :P oh! Chris has talked about that, and he may have been referencing this, i dont remember, but about people who just go to church on Easter or Christmas, what is even the point? God doesn't forgive you for going to church, if that were true then why would He have come to us and suffer and bleed everywhere? <BR/>hm. i think i was almost analyzing my thoughts on that there... wowo...<BR/>the part about being saved from punishment, that is the first degree of moral reasoning according to some psychology guy. *shrug* if it makes any difference.<BR/>ooh the story people! i notice that A LOT in my own life. crazy cool stories of all that God has done, yet we manage to find 'reasons' that we cant do something, just one teeny action/whatever for Him... darn you laziness!!!<BR/><BR/>lotsa text...pitcher12khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14113686771628945548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2251422498611379170.post-14500452473139909732009-03-17T16:59:00.000-05:002009-03-17T16:59:00.000-05:00WOW...forgot this blog and came back and no one st...WOW...forgot this blog and came back and no one still didnt write on here...hhmmm thats too bad because i think a lot of people need to read this one and step back and take a look at their walk and who they really are as a Christian. This really steps you back and makes you stop and think about where you are at. its a good blog to call you out on your thinking. i know it made me think about where im at and i am going to try and change what i can so im not so luke warm, that is definitly not where i want to be...thanks again for the wonderful thoughts! :)Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02416526749092498124noreply@blogger.com
