We cannot deny the reality of evil all around us inflicted by the pimps and Pol Pots of the world. Nor can we deny the fair share of shortcomings each one of us has to contribute; all of us have a ransom to pay of our own.... Because Christ paid our ransom with his life, we can tenderly approach God and call him “Abba.” Because of Christ, we have the ultimate model and source to create healing fields of our own.
Chad's Comments:
The words 'ultimate model' and 'source' stand out for me as Christ enjoins me to follow Him. I remember hearing someone describe Mel Gibson's movie, 'the Passion of the Christ' as, "man's inhumanity to man". I contrast this and look at the Passion of our Lord as an Example. May we each find ways of lifting each other up. And even when someone doesn't fit the mold of your normal relationship, strive to serve them.
Expelled the Movie: Anyone in Colorado Springs who would like to join us, we are going to the Chapel Hills mall theater tonight to watch Ben Stein's documentary. We are meeting at the food court at 6:45 and then watching the 7:45 showing. Please feel welcome to join us. Hopefully a review of the film will be forthcoming.
As a group, I will be challenging you to reach out to a neighbor. To invite someone over to your home whom you have had little to no contact with. This is not an effort to 'evangelize' them on the spot, but simply an effort to begin REAL relationship with them. Be in prayer about whom God would have you invite. More to come.
* Make Space for unbelievers in your life.
* Post your stories of God's intervention on the blog.
* Look for ways to share Awe and Wonder with children - leave suggestions at CougarsDaily.blogspot.com
* Consider joining Life-Devotions (a group of about 100 catholics and protestants sharing their faith through daily devotions and discussion - strong pro Life content)
* Voice of the Martyrs
- For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, "Abba! Father!" The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him. (Romans 8:15-17)
