We worked our tail off in our community

I just wanted to share something with all of you. I am a Youth Pastor, and if you hate God, please keep reading. For so long the church has been known for what we are against (Gay marriage, pro life, anti this anti that, you know what I am talking about). But the church has not been known for what they are doing to help make this world a better place.

So this week I did a Missions trip to our community. We went and helped people who were poor, helped work on their homes and fix stuff up. I was really proud of my teens. I am vary tired as we worked really hard, and I didn't get much sleep. I am now putting tiger-balm on all my bug-bites and trying to rest.

Jesus came to earth to bring love, joy, peace and freedom to those whose lives were out of control, and hurting. I think the church for so long just wanted to tell people how to live, instead of bringing people to life. I don't know if any of this makes sense to you, but it does to me.

Later to all and have a great weekend.

Habitat for Humanity... you don't need to be a Christian to pick up a hammer.

I've volunteered myself and Jesus didn't have to tell me to do it.

If more people volunteer than would not have if Jesus didnt mention it than its a good thing. The end justifies the means.

well thanks for helping in society. As for the religion part, well I feel it just gets in the way of that.

With the religion thing, keep in mind I didn't say I am religious. I just love God which causes me to do certain things now. It's vary hard for me to explain on a message board. To all those that made comments about how Religion just gets in the way, I would like to ask why. What is it really that you have against Jesus. What did he do to you that you don't like Him and want nothing to do with Him. I am guessing it's because of some of the Christians that your turned off by Him. But I could be wrong.

Jesus said "Fuck religion, spirituality is where it's at."

Some very great people here - whatever you call it, religion, spirituality, faith, charity as long as you are doing good to better other's lives it is perfect.

If you glean pleasure from helping others, expecting nothing in return except for the satisfaction of knowing that you made a difference, affected someone's life in any way: great or small, then that is a wonderful feeling... isn't it?

That can NEVER be a bad thing.

And the fact that you are helping to teach this feeling to youth, well then that is a good thing times a thousand.

I'm not sure how you can love God and follow Jesus and not have some kind of gravitation towards an organized religion of some kind.

Let me ask you this - do you believe that Jesus is God or God's son? (this is not dig of any kind I'm just curious)
