In a matter of a week you've given me so much insight and incredible things to think about. I'm already behind! <BR/><BR/>I feel privileged to be able to share in this "journey" with you, Pastor Don.Kristihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08295326676352870266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3348812811452573796.post-21222351101789857292008-07-21T19:17:00.000-07:002008-07-21T19:17:00.000-07:00Jana I think what you wrote was perfect - I totall...Jana I think what you wrote was perfect - I totally "get" what you said.

Having grown up in the...This is interesting to me. Having grown up in the CRC tradition and not hearing much about hell as I grew up, the idea of scaring people out of hell is fascinating to me. You ask how Jesus would sell himself... I think that he would sell himself as he did in our gospels - a man of love, submission, sacrifice and dependence. Ultimately, though, love. I think we all crave it and he is here, willing and able and ready to give it.<BR/><BR/>I hesitate to comment at all because I am no theologian or biblical scholar. I grew up in christian schools, went to a christian college, took my classes, but when it comes down to it as an adult not much of that matters to me - I am a 32 year old sinner who is in desperate need of a savior. He loves me and it is my honor to love others. I hope in some way my loving people will be instrumental to them finding Christ.<BR/><BR/>(gosh, I feel i need to qualify... which again is why i hesitate to comment (and why I've reread this about 5 times before publishing it). Believe me, i'm not advocating the "all we need is love" gospel. Just some initial reactions to your post. I really look forward to reading more).i am nothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18171163606325855644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3348812811452573796.post-18074074300381730702008-07-21T18:08:00.000-07:002008-07-21T18:08:00.000-07:00you know i'm stuck on the train... couldn't get of...you know i'm stuck on the train... couldn't get off the ride for anything! :)<BR/><BR/>like you, none of the 'plans' really ever felt dead on right for every situation... it always seemed to me that Jesus comes to each of us with the same message of hope and salvation, but He reaches us in the most personal way imaginable BECAUSE He already knows each one of us... it amazes me how He knows the world and yet He knows my name. Not only that, but knows EVERYthing about me... and loves me loves me loves me. <BR/><BR/>it is also amazing and beautiful that the Creator of the UNIVERSE is my daddy... how beautiful of Him to come to such as me. :)heidi johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03158284167747831121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3348812811452573796.post-89992008456125615472008-07-21T16:02:00.000-07:002008-07-21T16:02:00.000-07:00Hi, I read on Doni's web site about your blog.
