DISQUS

Two things:

1. "How many Americans think their ok with God simply because of being born American?" it would be very interesting to see the response to this type of survey...

2. "Religion does not, can not, and will not save you." How interesting I find it that the church is so divided - some thinking that they are the only real "religion" out there. My thought is to follow the religion that brings you closes to God, follows the bible, and teaches you to be more Christ like. If we all did that, appreciated one another for that, think how powerful the church would be.

I love the messages version you posted....

"that just by pointing your finger at others you would distract God from seeing all your misdoings and from coming down on you hard"

I look back now and I think I do this, a lot. Not on purpose, but I do it. I believe that as I call out people. Its too make me look better. To feel better. To seem better...even if for just that moment.

I also don't know if there is any other better sentence out there that is more true about God than the one you stated up there:

"God is kind, but He’s not soft. In kindness He takes us firmly by the hand and leads us into a radical life change."

That radical life change...yeah, I'm there.

Good stuff Jeff. Thanks again for being a part of this. I've learned a lot from all of you and have been challenged as well.

I guess I don't really read that particular translation all that often, thanks for pointing out a different way to look at it.
