because of sarah and kenzie, i am now back into this whole blogging business. so pretty much who ever reads this, other than kenzie and sarah, i apoligize in advance for rambling on and on about stuff im sure no one else cares about other than me.
ill start this thing off by discussing what went on today..
i went over to kenzie's house where i joined her and a few other people from her church for small groups. there we discussed some of the different traditions that church of christ's and baptists partake in, like the whole baptism thing and communion, differences between music and thoughts on all of these events. i think that so many christians get to caught up in the idea of what they "think" is the correct way to be a christian. what i mean by that is that they think that if they fail to follow what they have grown up thinking they are supposed to do, then they will not enter the kingdom of God. i think that many of us have a mixed up perception of how God works. i think that we are all so concerned about what denomination we are and what traditions we need to abide by, that we miss out on what is really important; furthering the kingdom of God. i wish the whole idea of "religion" was thrown out the window, that way we could focus on setting examples for non believers instead of arguing about when the service should take place, what kind of music should be played, how we do baptisms, etc. it all depends on where the heart is when worship takes place.
well anyways, thats it for now. im sure you are so glad you took teh time to read this haha NOT.

Religion today is not transforming people; rather it is being transformed by the people. It is not raising the moral level of society; it is descending to society's own level, and congratulating itself that it has scored a victory because society is smilingly accepting its surrender. A. W. Tozer
