Here is a Question:  Can I be a Christian without belonging to a Church?

The Answer: Yes, it is possible.  It is something like being

a student who will not go to school… a soldier who will not join an army… a citizen who does not pay taxes or vote… a salesman with no costumers… an explorer with no base camp… a seaman on a ship without a crew… a businessman on a desert island… an author without readers… a guitar player without an orchestra… a parent without a family… a basketball player without a team… a scientist who does not share findings… a bird without a nest…

The Church exist for those  outside it.  Dont stay away from the Church because it has so many hypocrites.  There’s always room for one more.  The Church is not made up of people who are better than the rest, but of people who want to become better than they are.

I know something good about you… July 25, 2008

Wouldn’t this old world be better if the folks we meet would say, “I know something GOOD about you”.  And then treat us just that way?  Wouldn’t it be fine and dandy, if each handclasp warm and true.  Carried with it this assurance, “I know something GOOD about you”.  Wouldn’t life be lots more happy, if we praised the good we see?  For there’s such a lot of goodness in the worst of you and me.  Wouldn’t it be nice to practice that fine way of thinking too?  You know something GOOD about me.  I know something GOOD about you.
