Hey!
So yesterday I watched one of the greatest movies that I have ever seen. Who would think that a crappy actor like Ben Affleck could write such an amazing movie? Well I guess he did write Good Will Hunting. Its a great movie in which there will be awesome discussion afterwards. I know I watched it with two guys and there was some amazing discussion after the movie. We just decided to agree to disagree.
I have also recently finished an amazing book called Crazy Love by Francis Chan. It showed me that in the busyness of this world we still need to give focus and glory to God. We all get wrapped up in things that have no purpose at all and we take our eyes off the thing that truly matters. I can admit this happens to me all of the time, but then the reality check sets in and I realize that nothing else in this world matters except for pleasing and giving honor to God. This is one of my favorite quotes from the book.
- Some people claim that we can be Christians without necessarily becoming disciples. I wonder, then,why the last thing that Jesus told us was to go into the world, making disciples of all nations, teaching them to obey all that He commanded? You'll notice that He didnt add, "But hey, if that's too much to ask, tell them to just become Christians--- you know, the people who get to go to Heaven without having to commit to anything.
This is sad but true. It makes me so sad that some Christians are exactly like this. On Sunday morning, they worship and pray, but on Monday through Saturday they are the total opposite people. No commitment to God. Its my prayer that these people realize the importance in life. Because lets by honest its not about us. There are some videos online and Chan goes through each chapter of his book. http://www.crazylovebook.com/
