Bill and Ted's Not So Excellent Adventure

I was reading this morning about Sen. Kennedy's effort to appoint his own successor. He has cancer and I guess he and others figure he's on his last leg. Everytime I see the guy or read about him, my love just doesn't flow like it should. It's the same for Bill Maher. Yet I can't settle for that just because they are against God or even make fun of Jesus like Bill often does. I was in need of a Savior as a young teenager as much as they are now (by God's grace I believed in Jesus and was saved). God loves them and I should to. If the Senator dies, he's given me every indication that he could very well be spending eternity seperated from God. As much as I have trouble loving these two guys, It breaks my heart when I think of them never again having the opportunity to have a loving relationship with Jesus Christ.

    =) I want to thank and bring to light the Christian doings of one of your members. Jared Scantling and his wonderful wife picked me up after a long night of walking after my truck got stuck in the mud. I walked all night and no one stopped for me but in the early morning hours Jared and his wife stopped without any hesitation. This amazed me. It helps bring my faith back that there are truly Christian people out there. Thank You!

    That is great to hear! I am glad that Jared and C***en could take care of you in this way.

    You said it brings back your faith that there are truly Christians in this world. Are you a Christian? I'm sure Jared and C***en would agree with me, that we are people who recognize that we are not good and have sinned against God. We were guilty because of our sin and were heading to hell. But we also recognized that Jesus stepped in to pay our penalty and offer us a right relationship with God. We believed Jesus died for our sins and defeated death when He raised from the dead. Then we repented and started following Him. Have you done the same?

    Thank you for encouraging me with your message.

    Have you read the late Senator's book? What do you really know about the Senator's life that you haven't read in some "right-wing" magazine? If you do know anything about him, then you would know that his entire life has been focused on his faith in Jesus Christ, and his desire to serve others. Especially those that are not as fortunate as many of us. He has admitted to his faults and prayed throughout his life for guidance and forgiveness from his heavenly Father. And, unlike you Mr. Lowe, does not judge others as you apparently do. I believe that God, and only God, will decide who will have everlasting life and who will be forgiven for his/her sins. Perhaps you should pray that God will open your eyes to the differences in people, differences in beliefs and differences in doctrine of individual churches. I have experienced much prejudice and ignorance from more Baptists when in comes to other faiths, especially Roman Catholic. Perhaps you should talk to your minister/deacons about not judging others and focus on what is right. That each of us has a personal relationship with the Lord and that we work daily to strengthen that bond with him through our daily actions, thoughts and words.

    Karen, thank you for the message. I never said where he was going to spend eternity. I'm sorry, but I don't even know of the "right-wing" magizines. What is the Senator's book called? I probably won't read it, but would maybe make time to skim over it. I didn't intend to condemn anyone in this blog. I hope Mr. Kennedy did have a right relationship with God through Jesus Christ as I would love to see Bill know Jesus as well. If you want to share with me more about what you believe it means to be a follower of Christ, please feel free to email me at glowe@greenwoodfbc.com. If we are brother and sister in Christ than there shouldn't be any reason we couldn't learn from each other.

    "You can identify them by their fruit, that is, by the way they act. Can you pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles?" Matthew 7:16 (NLT)

    Karen, just because Ted Kennedy "talked" about being a Christian, doesn't mean he was one. What does Matthew 7:16 mean to you? It means that it's not about "talking" about having a relationship with Jesus Christ, it means actually HAVING a relationship with Jesus Christ and letting it show in our actions. Words are simple, everyone goes to church, but living a lifestyle for Christ is totally different. Ted Kennedy exhibited no sign of being a Christian. He just made alot of money from people like you buying his book because he threw some Christian terms around in it!

    Furthermore, Why don't you read Grant's blog thouroughly before you jump on him. He basically was saying that he had a heart for people that are lost. It's called COMP***ION, not JUDGEMENT.

    People like you are the reason that our country has gotten so far away from God. You believe anything and everything a politician says. Try praying for clarity when you read about these politicians. They make their living making people like you believe whatever they want you to believe!
