Spare Change

Just Making Sure the Horse is Dead

Posted by Bryan

Okay, I know I've ranted on this earlier, but I'm kicking this pony one more time, just because I have such an excellent example.

In my inbox:

It is good to have something to think about. - Spencer What if God decided to stop leading us tomorrow because we didn't follow Him today?

What if God couldn't take the time to bless us today because we couldn't take the time to thank Him yesterday?


What if we never saw another flower bloom because we grumbled when God sent the Rain?

What if God didn't walk with us today because we failed to recognize it as His day?

What if, God took away the Bible tomorrow because we would not read it today?

What if, God took away His message because we failed to listen to the
messenger? <==THINK ABOUT THIS ONE.........

What if, God didn't send His only begotten Son because He wanted us to be prepared to pay the price for sin?

What if, the door of the church was closed because we did not open the door of our heart?

What if, God stopped loving and caring for us because we failed to love and care for others?

What if, God would not hear us today because we would not listen to Him?

What if, God answered our prayers the way we answer His call to service?

What if, God met our needs the way we give Him our lives???

What if, we failed to send this message on??

THIS IS A SIMPLE TEST.......
If you love Jesus, send this to ten people and the person who sent it to you


MAY GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS

Now, if you have sent this email to anyone, I have to lovingly say, "shame on you."

First of all, the rhetoric making up the bulk of this message is theologically bankrupt, because it suggests you consider the notion what life were like if God's character was humanistic, and then (without declaring any statement of revelatory truth, like "it's a good thing that God's not like us, in any way, shape, form, or expression," we get the lovely, guilt-inducing, manipulative "if you love Jesus, send this heresy to a group of others."

Do the Kingdom a favor....stop the insanity.

Now.

Would it be helpful to know that every time you forward this, a kitten dies?
