"8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath through him! 10 For if, while we were God’s enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life!" - Romans 5:8-10

Quick Thoughts

- Would you still follow Jesus if there was no afterlife? I know that would eliminate the major reward of eternity in heaven, but is your finite life really better because of Jesus?
- The cross doesn't belong in the church, it may stain the new carpet. (quote I heard). Make sure that the physical church never becomes more important than the real church.
- In the movie Constantine, a demon kills Shia Lebouf after he exercises a different demon. I'm not sure that such a thing happens to a Christian, but are you fighting evil so hard that the devil wants you dead. The demons who attacked the Seven Sons of Scheva recognized the name of Paul. Do the demons recognize our names?
- If you won the lottery, wouldn't you claim it immediately? You have been given the gift of grace, and you won't except it out of pride.
- Everyone is very weird, veeery weird, but some people just choose to hide it more. Example: Every male thinks about what they would do in the event of a zombie apocolypse, but not every male would dare to admit it. Others play Fallout 3 for hours as a means of training. So don't be so quick to deem someone "weird."
- Why is it that when someone is trying to live radically better, and change the way they act to  be more encouraging, we get so suspicious? Why do we always assume that the person is being fake? How are we supposed to change the world if our own brothers and sisters won't build us up, or let us build up others? We are here to encourage them, not to investigate and judge.
- These are small thoughts that are way to short for individual blogs. I love you, thanks for reading.
