  • Technology Update shopping

         Today, I'm trying to deal with some new technology and it seems to be challenging me with building patience. I try to buy locally but after dealing with young salesman I'm believing the internet with the lack of salesmen could be more honest. Asking the same questions to three different guys with them coming up with different answers as I start to question myself if I'm really standing in the same place in front of the same product. So, I start challenging their answers with the one I'm currently discussing with to which can cause them to stammer and walk off to find a manager to get the answer. Maybe, the hope I will go away if they take long enough but I don't leave the area because I'm serious about what I want to know. Following with my eyes, I see each time I go to the store it is another manager which at times doesn't seem to know a lot more. One time looking the manager in the eye across the area only to see him advert his eyes probably hoping I will go away to with my questions.  My desire is honesty about the money I'm going to spend on the newer technology I'm wanting to purchase. Plus, I want it all to be tech friendly with what I may already have so I don't have to update other stuff too! Yet, that does not always happen! Yet, when I go to a store I would really like to have somebody that actually knows about what I'm seriously wanting to buy!!!!


         As my patience starts to crumble.....I get reminded.....there are people out there curious about God at times and asking questions from those who appear to go to church to worship Jesus Christ. If they are going to give their life to God they want to know more. In this World it seems like there are a lot of products of god out there like Muslim, Buddha, Hindu, Humanism, and even Satan. It is hard for me to think of Satan as someone to purposely worship when he is destructive toward humans. Yet, at times, humans can be self destructive. It is scary even different churches claiming to worship can have various Jesus Christ can have different opinions sorta like brands of computers/cameras/cars. When I shop to buy, I want something that works for real!!! Sincerity!!! Real active sheep and wheat faith!!!


         What do I say to people who are asking questions about Jesus? Can I help  them or confuse them? Is Jesus real in my life so I can share who Jesus really is and how he works. Or, am I going through the motions of repeating what I'm told to say without any real personal convictions as I go through the motions in following Jesus? Do I seek out for myself who Jesus really is or live by the apron strings of others or just hang with a want to be crowd going through motions?  Do I hope they will go away when they ask questions I can't answer about Jesus or the person I think that might know the answer doesn't know either hope for the same?


          Well, when it comes to talking about Jesus to another person, I share more than when i first just gave my life to Jesus due to he is actively working in my life which I can share with the person something recent or that they can relate with. I can share I do miss up still even in attitudes but Jesus is there to forgive me when I still do confess my sins so I can have an open relationship with Jesus due to sins get in the way of  communication with God. I will not go into the cliches of Jesus will make your life wonderful and happy smiley faces of no troubles.  If I listen with faith and humbly seek myself,  Jesus through the Holy Spirit will give me the words to say to others when they ask me. If we follow sincerely follow Jesus, we can expect not to be popular in the world due to Jesus was not either. Yet, that does not mean we are not Victors in this world. (Excellent blog on this subject at http://www.xanga.com/RaZeHeLL/572338072/item.html) A relationship with Jesus is not going through life alone depending on a weak human or other weak humans who may not know more than you despite what they may lead you to believe. Jesus promises when we seek him with all our heart we will find him!! There are so many things to share about Jesus and why to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.  My favorite reason? He is the same Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow!!!!! No updates, downloads, having to spend more money to keep up with technology, or a few years what you buy is obsolete!!!!  I repeat......Jesus is the same Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow! Praise God!!!

  • I remember when I first read Hebrews 13:8 ~  "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever."  I was a very young believer...but the Scripture spoke volumes to me. I reasoned that if Jesus was the same as He was yesterday and that He is still alive today...if He healed then -- He would heal today. So, I knelt down and asked Him to heal me of this dislocated hip I had. He gave me a promise: Matthew 6:33 ~  "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you."  That's been MANY years ago -- but, I've held on to His Word -- because I believe and know in my heart, that when God says something to you, He means it. His Word will not return void to Him. I cannot explain the 'whys' of the delay -- but Numbers 23:19 declares,  "God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it?  or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?"  The promise is great, but the Promise-Giver is GREATER. Since I have been LOOKING totally to Him  I have seen drastic changes in that hip. I, myself, cannot speed up the process -- but as long as I keep the faith and believe, He will complete the healing.  What a MIGHTY GOD WE SERVE.  He doesn't HAVE the answer for our problems -- HE IS THE ANSWER!  Blessings to you, Denise.  ~Carolyn

  • Amen. You said a lot in this post. Good stuff.

  • excellent and very relevant post.

    We are called to reach out to the world, and i believe the best advertisement about Christ's love is OUR VERY OWN LIVES.

    The world may not understand our principles, may even disagree with our standards but it is never a doubt that they will be INSPIRED by our faith.

    Bless you,
