god of Kindness - https://mailchi.mp/15e78420bf7b/god-of-kindness If asked what god we follow in this time and culture, I'd say the god of Kindness. Not true kindness that God showed us by dying on the cross to atone for our sins, but "kindness" that avoids offending anyone, at all costs.

What is kindness? Is it coming from love? Or indifference?
Mother Teresa said "the opposite of love is not hate, but indifference."

Let's share the gospel message!

This here, what you’re holding, is what Christians call a ‘tract’. It tells you the good news of the gospel. Likely you’ve heard it before; you may have even gone to Sunday school. If you’ve been put off Christianity because of things that Christians have said or done, I am really sorry.

There’s a lot Christians need to apologize for, like, love of money, exalting oneself above another, being judgemental, not practicing what’s been preached, looking righteous on the outside but being hypocritical and lawless inside. These are things Jesus told us NOT to do.

Jesus commanded us to love the Lord with all our heart, mind, soul and strength. He commanded us to love one another, to love our enemies, to forgive others, to not even look at someone lustfully, to sell everything, give to the poor and follow Him. He told us not to follow man but to follow God, and to not lust after things of this world because we have been taken out of it.

But why bother? You know, why bother looking into what the Bible says? The Bible is not a handbook for good behavior, although that’s what happens when you let Christ rule your life. No, it’s much, much more than that. It’s talking about eternity.

The Apostle Paul (one of Jesus’s followers whose many writings ended up being used in the New Testament) wrote: “For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom; but we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumbling block, and unto the Greeks foolishness, but unto those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ, the power of God and the wisdom of God.” (1 Corinthians 22-24)

So, what is this gospel message? It is this:

Jesus Christ (who is God) died to save You.

This may not make sense to you. In fact, if your life hasn’t been turned around by Christ himself, then this has not made sense to you. Therefore, I plead with you to read the Bible, to grapple with the Lord, to bring all your burning questions to Him. Jesus said “Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.” (Matthew 7:7) Seek truth with all your heart, mind, soul and strength, and be prepared to die unto self.

It is the job of a Christian to spread the seed of the gospel, and if and where possible, to help nurture that growth. Yet it is Jesus Christ who makes it happen, and it is you, the individual, who makes the choice. Nobody else can do it for you.

I pray that you may seek and be found.
May the Lord of eternal glory be with you. Amen.

The Bible has given me a sense of history amongst other things. I see humanity as being on a God given timeline, divided between the time before Christ B.C. (Old Testament) and after Christ A.D. (New Testament). This time line is sandwiched between eternity, the time line having started at “The Fa...

It's Mother's Day soon!
Sometimes it strikes me how ephemeral life is. How often have I let my mum know I love her? In Japan (my mum is Japanese) we don't say "I love you". It's not in the language. A sincere "thank you" is probably as close as it gets.

Maybe this year, I'll send her one of my newer designs.

Maybe we can ask a homeless person...
(Mick Fleming & Lee Cook wrote in Power in the Name of Jesus)
"In all the years that I have asked homeless people 'Don't tell me what you want, but please tell me what you need', I've never had someone say money. This tells me the spiritual need is much greater than the material needs. Asking them what they need, out of respect and love, is so important. They must search deeper to consider what they need, and it's never money."

There's a burden on me to share with you the truth. It's not my truth, or something I understand the depth of, or necessarily agree with. No, it's Truth as revealed to us through God. We can't understand God, but He can come to us. And He has.

I'm going to try to explain the gospel to you in a way that you might understand it. It's not actually that important that you understand the gospel, but more important that you ask Jesus what it all means. If you ask with all your heart, He will tell you. Once the Holy Spirit is in you, He will make you see more and more Truth, in a gentle, personal, loving way. But it's a "relationship" as I'm sure you've heard, so it's a daily walk. Once you're saved, you are not always saved. Parable of the Sower will tell you that.

Anyway, here goes.

God created the heavens and the earth, like an authour writing a book. We are merely characters in His book. He gave us (and angels) free will.

Now, evil exists because God is good.
(Imagine a blank canvass. This is "nothing". Then put a dot on it. In this picture, two things exist. 1. that which is (dot) and 2. that which is not (plain background part). Existence creates dichotomy. God exists. God is good. Therefore that which is not good exists, which is evil. Anyway...

When Adam and Eve chose to disobey God, sin entered the world, as if the clean white pages of His book suddenly all became blotchy.
So we live in a world where both sin and goodness exist; we just can’t escape it. (We are ALL sinners, no one is purely good.)

God is perfectly Holy and unimaginably powerful - more than the sun. More than a gazillion A-bombs. Utterly pure goodness.
How can a Holy and powerful God entre into an unholy world without obliterating everything that comes into contact with Him?
Sin is the problem. All sin has to be accounted for if God is to reside with us.
Sacrificed blood cleanses sin. It might sound strange, but it’s part of His law.
(More about sacrificed blood. If you look into it, people have done it for ages. Witch-doctors do it, black magicians do it, satanist do it. They do it because it works, to an extent. It creates a portal between realms, amongst others.
All throughout the Bible, God has always said "don't sacrifice to other gods. Don't talk to the dead. Don't do black magic, Don't do devination, etc.) This is because it's real. If we are not talking with God himself, then it's "that which is not God" we are talking to....)
There's a lot to say about this, but basically, blood sacrifice of Jesus forgave our sin, and opened a door (a portal) for us to meet the one and only Good God.

Back to the Book analogy.
Around 5 B.C. God wrote himself in his book and was born! Fully man, fully God. This is Jesus Christ. He was born for a reason, so that He would die for our sins, being the ultimate blood sacrifice. All our sin was accounted for, once for all. Now, God can reside with us, and instead of a physical Temple building structure, each Christian body becomes the Temple where God resides.

This Existence is like a fantasy novel but REAL. ..war between good and evil, a selfless Hero, super powers and all sorts of stuff. We can only create from what already exists. Everything that we image comes from Truth.

Anyway, as I said it doesn't matter too much what you think of all this. The most important thing is you bring it to God. Seek him with all your heart and he will answer you. This is a promise.
Why is all this evil happening? Why would a good God allow this? Do you exist? Anything that is in your heart... ask him! We live in the most amazing saga ever written! May the good
Lord be with you. Amen.
