Crazy Theological Thoughts

If my Government tells me I can not worship God, or serve God; Acts teaches we should serve God rather than man. We need to worship God, and should not be prevented from our expression of faith. What does it mean to prevent someone from expressing their faith? What does it mean for someone to tell me I can't serve God? When Israel was in Egypt Land, what did serving God mean? Serving God was about fulfilling their duty as a father, or mother, son or daughter, and do the task the Overseers gave them to do each day. Sometimes that meant working on a temple to honor a false god. Sometimes they were making bricks that would be used to honor cult worship, or even a building of slaughter. When Israel was put under the power of King Saul, what did serving God mean? Serving God was about fulfilling their duty as a father or mother, son or daughter, and to do the work that was set before them that day.

After watching War Room it made me think of all the older men and women in the faith. There are some older men who are new to the faith and have many of the same struggles young people do.

They learned this over the course of many years. Often times the young christian looks up to the old christian, like a child looking up to a parent. They do not think they can possibly know any better than We. But then comes the answer. It ...

This movie is about an old woman who prayed for her husband to get a heart attack because they were having difficulty in their marriage. She then helps a young woman and her family to descover the power of prayer. The Jordan family has many struggles and while the solution of prayer may seem too simple, It is! The movie has many theological errors. It has been greatly influenced by Baptist and Reformed Theology, which can teach us just to pray and God will solve all your problems. The redemption of this movie is found not in a Room devoted to prayer, but in a family talking to God and hearing God's word. Within the Church today it is easy for us to focus on others bad theology, and others misconceptions of Faith, Grace, and Love. But the one thing this movie will hopefully encourage you to do, is actually  daily devotions, and pray. They have various prayers posted on their wall, but also they have scripture posted there. They have searched the scriptures and found passages that en...
