  • What Did a 1st Century Christian Look Like?

    Posted on August 5th, 2009 Richard No comments

    I once heard a quote from a 1st century Roman skeptic and persecutor who was instructing the Roman army on how to find Christians. How? Look for groups of people who sell everything and share everything. Ouch!

    I’m in love with our God. I cannot not speak that what’s happening in many church buildings may not be all there is. I don’t feel like I have time to make mistakes or get it wrong or be either of the prodigal brothers of Lk 15  that I was in my 20′s.

    God is teaching me to see Him run through great writers — He is sustaining me. I finished The Prodigal God a few weeks ago, I am finishing The Shack today and I”m half done with Crazy Love. Each is shouting “It’s about the relationship, stupid!” I can’t miss it, God is BIG. I will not be pulled into mediocrity, I will serve Him as He is, big!

    For now, I immerse by unemployed soul in God’s Word, books, Christian music & worship and prayer. I pray daily for God to refine my works through the perceived threat of financial loss, like so many. I like Psalms 3 for this.

    I don’t feel plugged in to any group yet, I am still searching. God bless my online friends, God bless you every one.
