  GINKWORLD: REWRITE PROJECT

 

welcome to ginkworld's "voices section" - we believe that every voice is worth hearing, and every person is worth listening too.  we strive to take voices that desire to take our faith and move it to the next level - we encourage people to question, doubt, ask, seek, find, want, need, know, and most of all we encourage people to look beyond themselves and into then face of God.

chapter 1

I know, that at some level this is hard to grasp; remember that we are just as skeptical as you.  But we were there from the start.  We heard it, saw it, touched it, felt it and were part of it from the core of its happening.  We saw the Word of God come to life and stand before us, in all human form; it was incredible, but it is so very true.

 

We interacted with this Word (Jesus) and we are telling you, it changed our lives.  And the really cool part of it all is that just like we interacted with God’s living Word, so can you.  The way Jesus changed our lives, he can change yours as well; you too can experience a new life in Christ.   What we think would be very cool, and give us a great joy in our hearts, is if you too would see what we see and walk in His light.

 

Get this, this is the bottom line of it all – the core of the DNA of God’s message to us all, through Jesus Christ – ready?  Here it is, ‘God is light, pure basic freeing light; and because God is light, there is zero darkness in him.’

 

Do you see how that all comes together?  If we say that we are followers of the way, but our life does not produce light – we’re lying, blowing smoke – we are not living our life in the light of God.  But, if we live a life filled with light (remember that God is light) we share a life with each other – we are connected and communal.  We stand untied in the blood of Jesus Christ, God’s son.  His blood is a sacrifice for our sins.

 

Remember that anyone who claims to be free from sin is fooling themselves, anyone who thinks like that is just clowning around and is filled with garbage.  You see, if we admit we are sinners, and we admit our sins – declare to make a clean break of it and start fresh – God will never walk away from us; because He’s true to His word – He’s a different kind of father.  You see, once we ask, we are forgive and saved from a life of sin and doing wrong.  So, if we claimed we never sin, or never sinned, all we are doing is fooling ourselves and saying that God is a liar.  And let’s be honest, no one can honestly make a claim like that.
