Stuff Christians Like

I had a friend who pointed me in the direction of the satirical blog, Stuff White People Like. It definitely has a humourous approach to life.

Well, today, Carlos Whittaker pointed me toward a similar site, Stuff Christians Like. I have to admit that I don't necessarily agree with all that is written on either site. I think there are some factual inaccuries (like #124 and the reference to the name Trey...I never got the pretty girl...until Kitten...almost got myself in trouble there). Anyway, take a few moments and laugh. Definitely worth it.

Changing How You View Love

Have you ever encountered a Bible verse and just moved through it without really thinking about it because you were so familiar with it. Then all of a sudden something grabs a hold of you and forces you to look at it with new eyes. Today that happened to me.

Matthew 5:43-48 took on a new image for me today. The great communication experts tell us that our brain locks concepts with images. That passage of Scripture has a new image in my brain. It looks like this now:

Not what you were expecting probably. But definitely life changing. May God cause you to love others in a completely scandalous way. May love be the natural overflow of your life. May those you encounter be changed by the gracious way in which you embrace them in love.
