ahh man you guys should check this song out when sung by Shane and Shane - When I Think About the Lord.. its my favorite worship song..

when i think about the Lord
how He saved, how He raised me
how He filled me with the Holy Ghost
how He healed me to the uttermost
when i think about the Lord
how he picked me up
turned me around
how He set my feet
on solid ground

it makes me want to shout
hallelujah! thank you, Jesus!
Lord, you're worthy
of all the glory, and all the honor
and all the praise!
Hallelujah! thank you, Jesus!
Lord, you're worthy
of all the glory, and all the honor
and all the praise!

(lyrics inspired by ephesians 2:4-7, and 2 corinthians 5:17)


Just think about Him. How he has worked in your life. How he has changed you, your ways, your all. His love inspires you to be a better person. Reflect his love guys... become a graven Christ-like image. The problems of this world are rooted in the abuse and maltreatment of people. So many nonbelievers have been scarred by people of the church due to their lack of pure love...

"hate the sin not the sinner"... this phrase alone in a prime example of how modern church has transformed Christianity into the love deprived group we are today.. If we hate their decisions, their acts, their lifestyles, how is it possible for us to love them through and through? We still Hate the fact that they choose to sin.. WE sin!.. hating their sins positions us at an elevated height... we are reaching down with love out of pity.. not love out of true sincerity.. Guys... love the sinner for what God created him to be. So many people are hardened at heart.. Their heart is covered in scar tissue, a lot of the times, created by people who claim to be Christian... so many wolves prance in sheep skin! woe to those who call themselves brothers!

Love is God's first and foremost commandment.. if we truly love someone... there will be no constraints on God's ability to use you as the most piercing tool on the shelf. Our purpose is to glorify Him... become more Christlike.. become more perfect... to live life most effectively.. praise God!
