Are You Questioning Christian Morals?

It's interesting how sometimes being a person could be the hardest thing. Take for instance, a pastor's child who does not want to be brought up with Biblical fundamentals. I believe that a lot of us have gone through a period of wanting to rebel against an authoritative figure and question the existence of living. Maybe the closest people in your life are the ones you have to feel disappointed with for a temporary time. I honestly believe that being a part of something great while growing up is sometimes an individual's dream. Like a son who wants to take over his dad's business and have a dad who is proud of him and showing approval of his worth. I think too often some of us like to push away religion and only come to question its validity, whereas some of us may try to block it out completely.

I've learned that it's not about thinking that you are completely special. So many examples in this world will question that insane compliment about yourself. Christians do have an exciting title called the "Sons of God" from being adopted into God's family after receiving the spiritual cleansing of our guilty sins and experiencing a new walk with Jesus. Sons of God does not necessarily mean you become this buffed up character that goes around taking people's money for the purpose of having a rich life off of taking advantage. It's just a logical definition of what a true Christian is. It's root word in Hebrew simply means "Being a creature of God". I think an understanding that people even believers and unbelievers alike have a hard time getting across is submission to Christ. There are a bunch of good reasons to do so, and wanting to come across as a regular person with an uncontrollable passion to write about the good news and how it's human is what this blog is. I'm a sinner just like anyone else, but through Christ revealing himself to others and me, sinning is something I don't really want to continue living in.

Blogging about Jesus

There isn't much for me to write about today. I think I'm just sitting here on my laptop and praying for the Lord to intercede in my life. How do I know that Jesus is real to me? God's Word states that Jesus died for the ungodly by being crucified on the cross in the period of the Roman Empire at around 30 A.D. It's really interesting to note that some people who claim to be Christians are not really born-again believers but just practicing out of religious obligations. To be truly a part of the journey with Jesus, one needs to take the narrow road whereas many would rather be in the broad path out of selfish ambitions. This narrow road is simply submitting to the Holy Spirit and truly hearing God's Word out of studying the Bible and fellowshipping with others.

I have heard of theory of the faith gene on a television program, which details how some are born to be believers of God whereas some would be considerable atheists. A book I saw at a local store states that Atheism is also a religion. A school I attended had a gathering of people who questioned their faith called the Round Earth Society. It's sort of a mockery of how ignorant ministers of the past felt that the Earth was flat and that you would fall off if you traveled to the end of the planet. It's until Christopher Columbus discovered the New World on his ship that Europe finally understood the world may not have been flat. Before Columbus, there were really dedicated Bible believers like Sir Issac Newton who did research on Physics. I also believe Galileo and other astronomers had a feeling of for a Creator. Even a famous Chemist who came up with the idea of an element believed in God. These scientists who had a belief in God came up with amazing discoveries. It's just to say that believing in God is a normal thing to do. Just look at how at least 90% of the world would think that a God exists after contemplating about it. It's just a matter of being on the right path and being forgiven for your sins that you may have covered up or don't remember or see as justified. There is no justification of sins, you are just as evil as the rest of them if you do not repent of your sins. The only way to do this is to accept Jesus who died for our sins and let the Holy Spirit work in your life. To truly have a transformation by knowing that the Creator is in heaven waiting for you to turn back to Him and that He wants to bless your life and let you know that He truly loves you above anything on Earth.

Making Proper Judgments

I think the reason why some people are tempted to not be so cool about life is that they can make comparisons with obtaining ideal goals. It gets pretty tough when a person you rely on doesn't come through for you. I know this area of heartache because I truly didn't comprehend it in the past. What I do find suitable these days is that making an effort to trust in the Savior of this world, Jesus, who died on the cross and rose again from the dead in the third day, is that what the canonized Scriptures are in the Bible we know of today, comes to be true!

There are an incredible amount of great speakers, teachers, and individuals in this world. Sometimes, our selfish desires can really block us from understanding the reasons why we end up hurting ourselves. To make a life centered around pleasing another person, there needs to be a balance under true agape love. My family has already been pretty vexing to me with their petty complaints about how I play the piano too much, or how I speak out my mind out so much, or how I fail to be better than them. It's really all about defending their perspective per say with weakness by resorting to kicking and screaming sometimes. This type of talk does not really build anyone up and totally can leave a person distraught and nagging about how they were not placed in a good foundation of maturing. In truth, with a true heart that abides and seeks after Biblical counsel, one needs not to ever compromise themselves morally and stay offensive. I'm a pretty emotional person sometimes, but I think it's good to appeal to the truth in an edifying manner without being angry with another. It is to be on the safe side, and I think it may be awhile sometimes to resolve it with the self. It takes a lot of bravery to be able to consider the truth when it's so easy to want to shelter our pride. A Bible verse states, "The righteous are bold as a lion."

Emotive Passion

Bodily urges gaining control over mindset,
The overdrive causes one to flight away from gathering of saints.
Emotional begrudgings of giving oneself away,
Ashamed of own attaching identity to another.

Struggling in tight circles of life by substituting it with a pal,
Waiting for an answer through meditating throughout day.
Passionately engulfed by a simple stranger who is benign to it.
Sultry and yet so desiring it under patience, expressing physical.

Totally in a different state of mind, a requirement of her rescue.
Eloquent on off-hours, submissive under the presence of God.
Tantamount to just about anyone receiving the gift of salvation.
She is now with a new heart placed in what was once stone.

Morning Quibble

Blogging over all these recent years has become sort of an effort and phenomenon for me. I'm not too sure as to what will come out of my heart, but keeping the focus on glorifying God has surely saved some headaches. I just don't see myself toughing it out anymore, when I feel that people are letting me down. Over all these years, I truly struggled to find acceptance among others. Where every single individual would come to know me and be friends. I must have been super sensitive because some aggressive remarks really intimidated me from trying to make friends. I guess I just didn't feel right about pestering and roasting people in my circle who I tried to hang out with every snack period. I really had no voice and that sort of made me hurt deep down inside.

The Bible states in Matt 28:18 - 20 to go witness our faith to people we come across and have this sort of connection with. It's really a lot of prayers to begin with for me, if there are several emotional let-me-downs. The Bible encourages its readers to be active in living out moral principles, to be bold and courageous in alienated situations, and be completely renewed in joy that can't be found in materialism! Proverbs 28:1 states that the righteous are bold as a lion. I think it just means that living a good one is tough enough, and we need to confess our sins daily to approach the throne of God with humbleness. The Bible makes a lot of bold assertions too about righteousness, and I don't know too many books that will clearly state something is wrong. It's interesting how people like to fit God into their own pocket. Like their belief works out for them and because of it, they pride in the wrong interpretation! I think when dealing with stubborn people who are convicted about Jesus, one would surly need to have patience as a virtue.
