Maybe one day I' ll continue my series on the staging of the end of time, but right now I do have pain on my heart.
Matthew 11:28-30 MSG
"Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you'll recover your life. I'll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me-watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won't lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you'll learn to live freely and lightly."
For the last couple of days I was following a comment blog on a letter in the Lethbridge Herald about the Gideon a well known group doing bible distribution in a school, in the area, parents were offended because the required authorization process was not fol lowed. I can understand the frustration of the parents, but soon the comments turned into an argument on religion and how the christians are imposing their ideas on others and worse on children. Now I drop out after two comments because it became personal between some of the respondant and did not want part of their vendetta. But it is a sad reality that religion will devide our society possibly more and more in the years to come, but again it's not a new thing, Jesus and the disciples talked about it. Religion has been a devisive force forever, but with Jesus it's different, you walk with him like a friend. Thats why the passage earlier is important, being a christian, is not are religion, it's being like Christ. That is truth
