Who would win the fight, Neo or Jesus?

Posted in Church, Youth, humour on April 13, 2008 by Dave Saunders

if you said that Jesus would win the fight, then why have we got images of Jesus like a weak nice man that wouldn’t hurt a fly.

In my head Jesus has always been a hard core nails bloke, i mean.. to be a carpenter he must have had some muscles, lifting trees about.

Thats Just the Jesus i know, whats your image of the main man??

Direct line to Heaven

Posted in Youth, humour on September 24, 2007 by Dave Saunders

phoneAn American decided to write a book about famous churches around the world. So he bought a plane ticket and took a trip to Orlando, thinking that he would start by working his way across the USA from South to North.

On his first day he was inside a church taking photographs when he noticed a golden telephone mounted on the wall with a sign that read “$10,000 per call”.

The American, being intrigued, asked a priest who was strolling by what the telephone was used for.

The priest replied that it was a direct line to heaven and that for $10,000 you could talk to God.

The American thanked the priest and went along his way.

Next stop was in Atlanta. There, at a very large cathedral, he saw the same golden telephone with the same sign under it.

He wondered if this was the same kind of telephone he saw in Orlando and he asked a nearby nun what its purpose was.

She told him that it was a direct line to heaven and that for $10,000 he could talk to God.

“O.K., thank you,” said the American.

He then travelled to Indianapolis, Washington DC, Philadelphia, Boston and New York.

In every church he saw the same golden telephone with the same “$10,000 per call” sign under it.

The American, upon leaving Vermont decided to travel to SCOTLAND to see if SCOTS had the same phone.

He arrived in SCOTLAND, and again, in the first church he entered, there was the same golden telephone, but this time the sign under it read “40 pence per call.”

The American was surprised so he asked the priest about the sign.

“Father, I’ve travelled all over America and I’ve seen this same golden telephone in many churches.

I’m told that it is a direct line to Heaven, but in the US the price was $10,000 per call.

Why is it so cheap here?”

The priest smiled and answered, “You’re in SCOTLAND now, son - it’s a local call”.

tis guy is AMAZING! he’s beat boxing while playing the flute at the sametime.

All i said was “i’m a christian”

Posted in Challenge, Church, Mission, Youth on August 30, 2007 by Dave Saunders

why

As it says in the Bible ‘put your lamp on a lampstand’. We could read this to mean ‘make it blatantly obvious that you are a Christian’. When I was in college studying art and design God took me on a steep learning curve; you could call it ‘a lesson in evangelism’. I started at college with a fire in my belly to covert all my class so that they would know what it was like to be a Christian. But my class wasn’t the most normal class, as some artists are known to be a little bit free spirited. My friend next to me constantly talked about how he wanted to sleep with his girlfriend, whilst others some turned up drunk to lessons. I saw this as my mission field. So I went on a rampage to make sure they all knew they were doing wrong and were sinners in God’s eyes. I would TELL them ‘you shouldn’t be getting drink it’s not right’.
Not surprisingly, they didn’t listen to me one bit; I had their friendship but not there listening ear. They knew I was a Christian but didn’t want to be any part of a boring religion. So I changed my thinking and action to simply BE a Christian in my class. I wouldn’t push anything on them or preach at them. I just was fellow artist buddy we laughed together and worked together. But they soon realised that my life was different to theirs, when I didn’t swear, get drunk or sleep with my girlfriend. My class were desperate to know why. I had some of the most amazing times with my class, including my teachers, regularly asking me questions about God. The great thing about this is that anyone can do it; you don’t need a degree in how to be a evangelist to do it, simply BE a Christian and be blatantly obvious about it and let God do the rest!

Missing God

Posted in Youth, humour on August 20, 2007 by Dave Saunders

naughty_look_by_kalemkar.jpgA couple had two little boys, ages eight and ten, who were excessively mischievous.

The two were always getting into trouble and their parents could be confident that if any mischief occurred in their town, their two young sons were involved in some capacity. The parents were at their wit’s end as to what to do about their sons’ behavior.

The parents had heard that a clergyman in town had been successful in disciplining children in the past, so they contacted him, and he agreed to give it his best shot. He asked to see the boys individually, so the eight-year-old was sent to meet with him first. The clergyman sat the boy down and asked him sternly, “Where is God?”

The boy made no response, so the clergyman repeated the question in an even sterner tone, “Where is God?”

Again the boy made no attempt to answer, so the clergyman raised his voice even more and shook his finger in the boy’s face, “WHERE IS GOD?”

At that, the boy bolted from the room, ran directly home, and slammed himself in his closet. His older brother followed him into the closet and said, “What happened?”

The younger brother replied, “We are in BIG trouble this time. God is missing and they think we did it!”

Risk assment

Posted in Challenge, Church, Mission, Youth on July 30, 2007 by Dave Saunders

painting

sorry i haven’t been blogging for a while, i was on a mission leading a team and had to stay on a church floor for 2 weeks. It was a great/challanging mission.

I found it interesting that one of the days of the mission the team decided we would go out and pick up rubbish to love the community. So we headed out along the river side that flows through the middle of Inverness town and there was a road cone sticking out of the river so i said “does anyone want to go and get it out?” (let me make it clear that the river was so low you barely had to take your shoes off)

One of my team members took the challenge (a lad) and took his shoes of. As he was doing this one of the older members of the team came up to me and complained saying “you can’t do that you need tetnis jabs and risk assessments and forms from parents!!”

i listened and watched as my lad took his shoes of and put his feet in the water and said “it’s too late now isn’t it.”

I get so frustrated with the world policy’s sometime. I think it can stop us from being God in the community.

Don’t get me wrong these policy’s are there for our own safety but one of these days the church will just have to say no!

Sometimes to react to the worlds problems it takes a immediate action, which means not always following things by the book. If we are persecuted because of this, we are safe in the knowledge that we are doing our God given job.

bring it on!!

Thats my King!
