Theology Talk Discussions on Calvinism and "free will" What Did Jesus Accomplish On The Cross? Pastor Jim McClarty Faith Community Church A Reformed Baptist Church in Woodstock, GA High Tech Ministries A community seeking Christ within the Atlanta technology industry faith - Christian “When you see a man with a great deal of religion displayed in his shop window, you may depend upon it, he keeps a very small stock of it within.” - Charles Spurgeon Click here to read my personal testimony It is very important to pay attention to, and surround yourself with, great teachers. Here I am with two of my favorites: Dr. James White and Pastor Jim McClarty. "A man can no more diminish God's glory by refusing to worship Him, than can a lunatic put out the sun by scrawling the word 'darkness' on the walls of his cell." - C.S. Lewis It's never been less fashionable in this country than right now to be a Christian, or a Conservative. The Conservative Christian is to 21st Century America what the Jew was to 1930s Germany. I believe that to be a conservative is to think for yourself, and not subject yourself to radical liberal groups who play the part of the "Thought Police" by attempting to crush the individual. Those on the so-called "tolerent" Left are the ones defaming and ridiculing the beliefs of others, especially Christians. Why? Here's my theory: The world hates Christians. Always have. Just as Christ was hated, so his followers are hated, and the haters' boldness grows with each generation. All other religions are exempt from this hatred (you don't hear many Buddhist jokes, do you?), and are given respect by the world. But Christianity is dissed at every opportunity. Granted, televangelists give the world plenty of ammunition! What a blasphemy they are, selling Jesus like cheap jewelry. Never send money to television ministries. If God wants them to succeed, He'll find a way. Your $100 only lines their pockets. Give it to the poor instead. Anyway ... I am a Christian. That is, I believe that Jesus is the son of God, sent by God to die as a ransom for his people so that we may forever be recipients of God's grace. I believe that "religion" can be a dangerous construct of mankind that can actually lead people away from knowing who God is. However, mankind's flawed constructs do not discredit who God is any more than a torn page in a book discredits the author. Dealing with it is just part of living on this Earth. My faith in the sovereign grace of the Supreme God drives all that I do, and is the absolute basis of who I am. If you are not a Christian, please consider what it really means before you pass judgement.
