i want to do something significant

reflection

i hate that most christians do not reflect christ in anything that they say or do. i hate that most christians hate more than they love. and spread gossip more than the gospel. i hate that they judge more than they listen. i hate that they are selfish, and comfortable, and complacent, and stupid, and safe. jesus wasnt safe. paul wasnt safe. why do christians hide in churches? why do they hate the world?
because of this i do not even want to be called a christian. in the minds of people they will associate me with every other "christian" that they have ever met. i am a follower of Jesus. simple as that.

perspective

Darwin’s father said to him in a note “… you will be a disgrace to yourself and all your family.” His gardener said, “Poor man, he just stands and stares at a yellow flower for minutes at a time. He would be better off with something to do.”
Darwin was misunderstood. That is important to understand. He saw something that others didn’t. he could appreciate the beauty of a flower and stare at it for minutes. That is something special.
what is our first response as christians when we hear the name charles darwin? most would argue that he was misguided and most would be upset that he had led so many people to believe that the earth originated from evoultionary beginings. do you know that he was raised in the church and grew up a christian? what would you say if you saw darwin in heaven? personally i hope that he is there, because i would like to meet him.
