God holstered His pistol, but why?

“You are forgiving and good, O Lord, abounding in love to all who call to you.”- Psalm 86:5

There might not be any greater truth in all the world.

"Vices Like Toys" by chad brownThe path of men is wrought with destruction. Their paths are covered in ruin and blood. I could give you lots of personal examples but I'm not too excited about sharing my sins on the world wide web. trust me I am no good. God has had plenty of reason to pop a cap in me. I have more than once given God the proverbial slap in the face. Yet he continues to bless me.

Now you might say its coincedense. But I don't believe so. because of two reasons. 1) I have made a regular cycle of trusting and obeying God and then walking away from him to pursue my own selfish desires. Guess when I feel the most miserable. Yep when I am away from God. And when I return he is always faithfulto take me back. I guess he rejoices like the Father of the prodigal son story because it feels as though there is a party in my honor when I return. I can't believe that is just coincedense. 2)there have been a couple of real experiences with God in my life that are un shakable to me. times when I have called on him and he has responded, leaving little doubt it was Him who answered me.

Call on Him. And feel the love that abounds.

Jackie Chan and Jesus Christ have the same initials

“Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.”- Ephesians 4:2

I'm not anti-gun or anything. I have one in my house. I believe in defending your family. and I know this country would not exist without the men and women who took a stand an killed when necessary. And believe me when I tell you that few people like fighting in movies as much as i do. I am a fan of Jackie Chan, Steven Segal, and Jet Li. My favorite movies are the Matrix, the Bourne Identity, The Transporter, and Mr. and Mrs. Smith.

I am not anti-gun but I am Pro-Imitator of Christ. Christ loved us so much he took the bullet for our sins. While we were still his enemies (Romans 5:10) he took the bullet. And he when to great measures to do so. Peter was about to hand a servant of the High Priest his own ear when jesus stopped him and said,"Put your sword back in its place," Jesus said to him, "for all who draw the sword will die by the sword." Jesus Was humble even though he was God. He was gentle even though he was pursecuted. And was he not the most patient man to ever live?!?! Just think, GOD walking along side of you listening to you bicker about who was the greatest (Mark 9:34). And he didn't back hand you and let you know without doubt who was the greatest. I'd say he beared with others in love. He went to the tomb knowing there was and is more to life than saving yourself, your family, your posessions. He was self sacrificing not self defending.

OH LORD, Help me to be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.
