I had an amazing weekend, including gathering together with our home group tonight at Ashley's and followed by a cookout around a fire pit at Caroline's, and also at the home of our old neighbors on Saturday. (Again, I don't mean they are OLD...I mean our neighbors at our previous residence...I need to rethink my wording...) I'll try to post about it tomorrow.
Just real quick tonight, though, I wanted to post The Jesus Manifesto, which was just written by Frank Viola and Leonard Sweet. I love the part that says:
"We have been given God’s “Spirit” which makes Christ “real” in our lives. We have been made, as Peter puts it, “partakers of the divine nature.” How, then, in the face of so great a truth can we ask for toys and trinkets? How can we lust after lesser gifts and itch for religious and spiritual thingys? We’ve been touched from on high by the fires of the Almighty and given divine life. A life that has passed through death – the very resurrection life of the Son of God himself. How can we not be fired up?"
I'll post a link to the right to the Jesus Manifesto, so you can read it in its entirety. More tomorrow.
Just wanted to mention--The online “Jesus Manifesto” essay by Sweet & Viola has just been expanded to a 200-page book called JESUS MANIFESTO (published by Thomas Nelson). The book releases Tuesday, June 1st at a discount from Amazon.com. :) Here’s the link: http://www.amazon.com/dp/0849946018?tag=stellardesign-20&camp=14573&creative=327641&linkCode=as1&creativeA
