Deep Thoughts..........By Me.

Have you ever wanted to share a great thought? Maybe something that can be shared and touch a life? Tonight is not that night for me. It seems like my streak of thoughts worth sharing is broken for a time. Here is what I am thinking about, and why. Currently the movie Luther is on, a really good movie taking a look at Martin Luther, the reformer, and his times. It is very illuminating to myself to see the outrages of the Christian church then lived out on screen. To see the wonderful message of Christ, about a God who loves us dearly and wants to live with us for Eternity, turned into a money making scheme about earning heaven and rewards from God. But it makes so much sense to do something, or go some a quest, or pay for the joys of heaven. It is a system that makes sense to us, until we look at just how far removed from reality our ability to repay such a debt is. It is simply better not to try and insult the generous King by demanding to pay. We should allow God to bring this great message to as many people as possible out of gratitude. That is the reason we reach out, not because we are avoiding hell by paying our dues, but by passing along God's great love. We should not allow ourselves to become jaded or forgetful of this great love, but always renew by passing along. It is truly a renewable resource.
