The original Godcast...

The gospel was passed down to us primary from the generation of the eyewitnesses to the born, life, death and most importantly resurrection of Jesus. As a random blog surfer who may not have been on my blog before, you may be wondering why I haven't tried to 'shove Jesus down your throat' as the expression may go until now. But in fact that is not the only intention of this Godcast when I initially PARTNERED with God in dedicating this website for his service.

The first question typically asked of the gospel is the same one you might be asking if you are a new reader of this blog, whether these texts are merely words on a page. Well, let's examine that question from a very basic perspective that will seek to resolve some of your questions in that area. It becomes more apparent when we are in movie theaters or watching a live stage performance that the words on the director's script are much more than just words on a page. I would argue however that the very fact you are reading my words also makes them more than just words on a page to yourself as well at this very moment.

Some of the joy of reading comes in making our own decisions on the format we will use to interpret the material presented to us. We have come into an era where we often forget the blessing of literary we actually have compared to many generations before us when much of the populous was unable to read comprehensively. Some of us think we would prefer to alive during the Jesus in the flesh era, but when you look at the situation more objectively, you might reach a different conclusion, God repeatedly comments of his direct audience:

'You will be ever hearing but never understanding; you will be ever seeing but never perceiving.' [Isaiah 6:9, Matthew 13:14, Mark 4:12, Acts 28:26]

Even many of us modern Christians don't really know how we would react if we were able to see God face to face, but I've learned often that doesn't happen and you need to just see God around you from where you are, the next time your neighbor, even if he's a non-Christian does something nice for you, remember to meditate on that 'thank you Jesus' in your head. Hehe, now I'm starting to understand why AB had to say it out loud when he was grateful I noticed that leadership is 'hard work'. Throughout the tragic experiences I have to endure when my mom abuses Exodus 20:7 with her yelling of JESUS CHRIST, I have now decided to not let her get satisfaction by responding to her OH MY GOD with Detective Spooner's attitude in the fight scene with the robot after they trashed his car "yeah... that's right..." [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0343818/]. LOL though I don't do it all the time and I often use mom instead, the other day I even called her WOMAN [John 2:4], now that's a satisfactory level of as my spiritual director would call it 'emotional dissociation' if I've ever seen it. So in the meantime, those of you who read this more regularly, please pray for me as I find another place to live in the meantime as I find that is best for both my own health and my mom's [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N0ykm1v9xbU].
