This made me cry!



There are really two ways to look at what people are saying about Jesus in this video:

1 - They have taken away His Deity and consider Him to be at least a good guy or teacher of good morals (though most still don't follow those).

2 - They see Him as a guy they could be buddy buddy and is loving toward others but then you get the opposite reaction when you ask about Christians. Some of them almost get violent.

Where is our love for all people? I know that some get offended by the truth, many are hurt by the false Christian, many are just uninformed or misinformed.

What are YOU fellow Christian going to do about this? What have you done with Jesus? Are you an offender/hypocrite/lukewarm? Are you informed? Are you able to give a ready defense for the faith that is in you?

Are you spreading the truth of His Love?

Mark 12:29–31

29 Jesus answered him, “The first of all the commandments is: ‘Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one. 30 And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ This is the first commandment. 31 And the second, like it, is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”


Let me know if you would like help in finding ways to share the biblical Jesus.

Watch this video...

Watch this video...
I don't know anything about Mark Driscoll of Seattle’s Mars Hill Church, but this is an insight that changes the view of a particular verse.



Looking at:

Matthew 27:48

Immediately one of them ran and took a sponge, filled it with sour wine and put it on a reed, and offered it to Him to drink.

Luke 23:36

The soldiers also mocked Him, coming and offering Him sour wine,

And the cross reference...

Psalm 69:21

They also gave me gall for my food, And for my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.


This appears to be an accurate account of the gall sponge dipped in vinegar... But I have only done this cursory research to check it...

Aside from the initial nausea (may that feeling never leave you), how should this effect us?

It should enrage you, it should fill you will amazement at what He did for you and me on the cross, it should encourage you even more to get out and tell people of what He did for us, it should take you to your knees in a prayer of thankfulness, it should remind and even encourage you once again that anything we American Christians may suffer for Him is nothing in comparison to what He suffered.

SHAME ON US FOR FEARING SOMETHING AS "HORRIBLE" AS REJECTION AND ALLOWING THAT TO STOP OUR WITNESS. I AM ASHAMED...

Thank you, Lord, for suffering and making a way for me to be imputed with righteousness, despite my filthy flesh. Please, remind me of these verses and Your suffering and love when I get the pathetic fear that prevents me from sharing Your Gospel. AMEN

Video Worth Watching...

A video produced by a bible believing body within a great church. This video was taken at the Kitsap County Fair this summer. It was done by Calvary Church of Port Orchard. They have done this for several years.

The church also has a "Taste and See" Ministry that gets the Word out at local events throughout the year.

Thank you to all the people that made this event and video possible, I look forward to more videos from this Youtube channel and the ministry it will do.
