My wife was feeling pretty down last night, but that muppet video made her break out into uncontrollable giggles. And the kids joined in. They like to see us laugh. In these serious times, laughter is often precisely what's needed.

If anyone knows the back-story in Acts, those who adhered to the lifestyle and the teaching of Jesus (and by extension, the apostles who were going around Asia and Europe making converts from pagan faiths to Christian faith) – Christians because they had converted to the holy lifestyle required of Christians.<br /><br />The apostle Paul talks a lot about that, as does Jude, and Peter. And John. And the other gospel writers. I’d cite a variety of Biblical texts, but I suspect you know some of which I speak.<br /><br />So I am confused by your post and the video because you seem to be saying it doesn’t matter what one’s lifestyle is like. What matters is, are they a ‘Christian.’<br /><br />I suppose it depends on what one’s definition is of the word, Christian. Me? I go back to the New Testament for my definitions – and marching orders. Does that make me a ‘hater’? I suppose it depends on one’s definition of the word. Sometimes real Christian love has to be tough. And always honest.<br />Rich Maffeohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07499633873603333492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1373152433565591514.post-38062965923417778272015-09-28T07:13:53.753-07:002015-09-28T07:13:53.753-07:00Was going to post something, but being an agnostic...Was going to post something, but being an agnostic gay witch I realize I don't have a horse in this race.
