The Message
You have the right to be you! Let no one tell you who or what you are supposed to be. How can anyone know the wisdom and the will of God for each and every person?
I know there are plenty of sites that address this issue in many different forms and ways. So I guess I am not unique. However, I felt a calling not too long ago letting me know that I need to tell someone that everything will be ok. I wasn't sure how to go about conveying the massage to 'someone' that they are going to be ok and to remind them that they are not alone. I did some searching to provide links to websites which provide the same message. One of the first sites I came across was ChristianGoth.com. I was impressed at the variety of messages they had and their links. I added some of the links from their page to this site and researched for other links to include in various pages throught this site as well. I think that Christian Goth says it best that you do not have to be what others expect you to be and yet can still love and praise the Lord!
A number of so-called Christian sites bash Christian Rock so I felt compelled to provide links to some of the best Christian Rock groups today. I will try to keep those updated as much as possible. I find it hard to understand how people can criticize any form of media in which the message of our Lord reaches the multitudes. They may not like the style of music, but why condemn it? When I see the videos and the people it reaches, I just get chills and awed by the children of God who come to Jesus through the message being told.
I realize that some people have good intentions but when they speak with harshness in their demeanor it can backfire and spread the sheep.
Jeremiah 23:1 "Woe to the shepherds who are destroying and scattering the sheep of my pasture!" declares the LORD. 2 Therefore this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says to the shepherds who tend my people: "Because you have scattered my flock and driven them away and have not bestowed care on them, I will bestow punishment on you for the evil you have done," declares the LORD.
Speaking in Love will draw them close. Jesus will do the rest. I must say that I do not think I will ever understand those who will stand in judgment of my heart. Seeing a post in a chat room or blog is not a good measurement of a person's heart and soul. One of the main reasons is the post could be meant in one way but taken another. You do not hear the tone or the emphasis of the language of the words that are posted. A person can make a post and 5 out of 10 people will read it one way while the other 5 read it another.
I see the judgment of others being justified by people doing the same with biblical text. They take portions of the text to use as weapons! They want to take these words and turn them into judging others fruits, discerning their heart and convince themselves to not throw their pearls before swine. All of these quotes from scripture being misused and taken out of context. How easy is it to misinterpret someone and end up with the wrong conclusion? Therefore, I have found that by not attempting to judge someone and not tell them who they are, I can communicate with many people of many faiths and beliefs and we can become friends. As a friend, I am able to let them see in me the Love of God. Whether God waters that seed is between that person and the Lord.
