Inspiration?Hello You I figured that since our group is getting bigger and bigger, I should reward us all with a little poetry... But not just any old poetry, this piece is really something special (in fact, I made it my cell phone wall paper) and it has answered many questions for me, as well as for other people that ask why I am a Christian. "When I say... "I am a Christian"I'm not shouting "I'm clean livin'."I'm whispering "I was lost,Now I'm found and forgiven."When I say... "I am a Christian"I don't speak of this with pride.I'm confessing that I stumbleand need Christ to be my guide.When I say... "I am a Christian"I'm not trying to be strong.I'm professing that I'm weakAnd need His strength to carry on.When I say. "I am a Christian"I'm not bragging of success.I'm admitting I have failedAnd need God to clean my mess.When I say... "I am a Christian"I'm not claiming to be perfect,My flaws are far too visibleBut, God believes I am worth it.When I say... "I am a C

(Liberal) Christians who support gay marriageWhy do some Christians support gay marriage, and seemingly have no Biblical reason for it?I do not support gay marriage, but before any liberal Christians start yelling at me, comparing me to the WBC, telling me I am an embarrassment to Christianity (yes, thanks for that, that isn't amongst the most harsh and hateful type of thing you can say to a fellow Christian at all), consider this:-No, I do not hate gay people. I do not demean gay people. I do not think gay people are condemned to Hell (1 Corinthians 6:9-10 refers to practicing homosexuals, not people with the orientation). No I do not think that gays are inferior, cursed or "scum". No I do not think that God hates them. Yes, I do think that people who condemn homosexuals should stop what they are doing, and they are not representing Christianity very well, but that is not for me to say. I only pray for them, that they will look past their hate. As far as I'm concerned, there's a difference between being gay, and acting on it.
A messageI pick up the knife and place it against my skin.I realize what I'm doing and put it down.But I hurt so much.I want the pain gone.So I pick up the knife again.Only to put it down again.I do this several times.Finally I put the knife back in the drawer and close it.I breathe a sigh of releif.I won this time.But how long will it be till I lose?Even as I was putting the knife down,I wanted to place it against my skin and follow through with it.I wanted to so badly.But I know better than that.And I'm not going to escape pain using pain.No matter how much I want to.Harming myself is not the answer.It's not the answer for anyone.
Fear NOT! Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand. Isaiah 41:10 New King James Version (NKJV)
The Wardrobe (How we view ourselves in Christ)I want to start with a question. Do clothes make the man? Or, is it the other way around? Are the clothes that we choose to wear, influence how we think about ourselves? Or, is it how we think about ourselves that cause us to decide what clothes to wear?In studies. people had an increase in self confidence while dressing in nice clothes. People felt more accomplished and felt smarter too. Not were more accomplished or smarter, they just felt like they were.And according to these studies, clothes do indeed make the man. That if you are dressed nicely you think better about yourself. On the other hand, in the same studies the reason why man
