Friend: Why are you doing this challenge? You already live biblically.
Me: No I don’t.
Friend: Oh my gosh! Yes, you do. Living biblically is simply living like Christ. You do that.
Me: No, really, I don’t.
Friend [loud]: Yes, YOU DO!
Me [louder]: NO I DON’T!
Fine [exasperated]: Fine! You may not, but I do.
Me [yelling]: NO! YOU! DON’T!
And with that final upper cut to the ribcage, I busted out a verbal UFC move on my dear friend. The low blow stunned my friend in the way Chuck Liddell would’ve stunned Tito Ortiz in a fight to the finish. Exasperated and slightly wounded, Friend replies, Fine, do what you want. But I’m not talking to you for the next two weeks. This is ridiculous. I wrapped my prayer shawl around me and began quoting scripture outloud. Not really, but I totally felt like a Pharisee, yet righteous all at the same time.
But here’s the truth: I don’t live biblically. And neither does my friend. And if you’re honest, neither do you.
I have this list with me as a reference point in case I forget what the bible says on, say, looking at their amazing book and being filled with envy (Luke 12:15), or wanting to be first in line (Mark 10:43-44), or wanting to pour Nyquil in the bottom of the crying baby next to me on my last six hour flight (BiancaNeedsJesus 1:1).
So here’s the challenge for us today: pick one command of Jesus today and live it out. Seriously, take one simply tenet of Christ-like living and do it in In The Name Of Love. For God is love and as His children, we are to do likewise (John 15:12).
Nice web site! Better than the others I’ve lately study covering this. The layout is nice, thoughts basically copy this particular? Simply kidding?-Thanks!
Is there something wrong with the CSS here? It all looks green and I can barely read the page?
Hi there! Fine post! But this webpage is loading pretty slowly.
It’s perfect time to make some plans for the future and it’s time to be happy. I’ve read this post and if I could I want to suggest you some interesting things or advice. Perhaps you could write next articles referring to this article. I want to read more things about it!
Hello! Wonderful post! But the webpage is still loading rather slowly.
Thanks for your write-up on the travel industry. I would also like to add that if your senior contemplating traveling, it’s absolutely important to buy travel cover for retirees. When traveling, seniors are at biggest risk of having a health-related emergency. Obtaining right insurance plan package for your age group can protect your health and give you peace of mind.
So far people around me have noticed a change but I still don’t see a change that is so dramatic that I should continue using this medicine. ,
