    Changing The Story

    Contributed by Clair Sauer on Feb 6, 2013
     | 6,201 views

    We have to remember that we love only because Jesus first loved us. And as followers of Jesus Christ, we are to respond to others in the same way God has responded to us. We have to change the story, re-write history, shock people.

    I have noticed in recent years a growing lack of any “shock value” in our society. It’s obvious in movies, TV shows, video games, sports, and even the way we talk. To be a millionaire means very little these days; it’s more impressive to be a billionaire. Video games are no ...read more

    Mary of Bethany displays the extravagant nature of worship as she anoints Jesus, and in so doing gives us all the model of the life of a disciple.

    Mary is a popular biblical name. As a matter of fact, it was the single most popular name in first century Palestinian culture. One in every five girls born carried the name Mary. Wow! 20% of the women named Mary! Contrast that to the Social Security Administration’s latest “most ...read more
