CAUTION: Deconstruction in process

Read this at your own expense, I may offend :)

Ok, so I can't concentrate on my Marketing assignment because I need to let this little rant out, here it goes!

I feel like I have been living a lie. I know I haven't been, it is just that my eyes have been opened and God is taking me on a journey where I am challenging all the beliefs, life routines, things I do and now I am asking questions of them. Things as simple as "Am I a bad Christian if I miss a week of Church?" or "Am I doing this because it is what a Christian does?". All my thoughts make me seem like I am rebelling against the Church (not my Church, the Church in general). But it isn't I am re-looking things with eyes of - What would God want and what DID Jesus do? Just from spending a lot of time in the gospels I have noticed that Jesus didn't come to create programmes and encourage people to cross the line so they don't go to hell, then sign up to a Church (go to 3 new believers courses) then join 6 ministries and give your life to the establishment of the Church and "build" the "kingdom" (kingdom being translated to growing the church and building more "ministries" --> Where did that come from anyway? I thought Jesus had one ministry and it was to Love people?). Nope, he came to freakn LOVE people! With NO AGENDA! They just ended up following him because they couldn't resist his love!

They saw who he was (not the title he carried, remember the priests didn't believe he was the Son of God) they followed him because of who he was. And the miracles he did, that was out of the intimacy he had with his Father and the love that overflowed out of that. I heard a saying "nothing is birthed without intimacy" and well that means practically like Children can't come into the world without a man and a women....you know the story... and the same with God, nothing can be birthed without us and God being in a relationship.

So I challenge you, strip back all your beliefs that you have been conditioned to believe and go back to the Bible and see what Jesus said and did about everything, then re-construct. It's great, my life has changed and to be honest is more exciting because it has challenged me to live for a cause greater than filling seats on Sunday. It has challenged me to love people, 24/7 with no agenda and then see the miracles overflow out of that.
