Matthew 6:5-8 NLT 5 “When you pray, don't be like the hypocrites who love to pray publicly on the street corners and in the synagogues where everyone can see them. I you tell the truth, that is all the reward they will ever get. 6 But when you pray, go away by yourself, shut the door behind you, and pray to your Father in private. Then your Father, who sees everything, will reward you. 7 “When you pray, don't babble on and on as people of other religions do. They think their prayers are answered merely by repeating their words again and again. 8 Don't be like them, for your Father knows exactly what you need even before you ask him! I was on You Tube the other day and you know how one You Tube video can lead to another and another? Well that tends to happen with me. I was looking up trying to find a commercial that I found funny that was on TV, but I couldn't find it. Saw some Mac vs. PC commercials and watched one of those for the fun of it. I noticed off to the side there was some that said Church Goer vs. Christ Follower. I checked that out and found it pretty interesting. It starts off as “Hi, I'm a church goer” “and I'm a Christ follower” the conversation kicks off with these 2 Christian guys. One of them was listing off all these rules he must follow and things he has to memorize, along with how he has to dress to “impress” God and was acting like he's “perfect” without sin! The other guy is on board with God, but he doesn't act like he's perfect without sin or dose things for a show to show how better he is, like the other guy was doing. He knows he has sins and always asked God to direct him to help him with an honest heart. Just like in the e.g. of the 2 Christians, Matthew 6:5-8 explains the similar type of issue that is brought to mind. There are some people who try to be better than everyone else and try waaayyy too hard to impress God by how much they can memorize about the bible, how long their prayers should be, how many times they went to church or bible studies or act like we're the best dressed etc. whatever it is, all that to be “perfect” and “impress” God. I'm not saying to let your guard down and don't attend things or read your bible and what not, I encourage you to go to church, read your bible, pray every day, get involved in things and events that will help you get stronger and closer to God, fellowship with and help one another with love and care. That's the reason I go to church, youth group and such to find out and learn with others, get stronger and to build a relationship with God. No Christian is perfect in everything they do and say, I'm not perfect, and that's why I need Jesus in my life to confess my imperfections so i can get to heaven, Jesus is who you call perfect in everything that He did. You don't need to and you can't fool God because He knows if you really are in for Him or not. God is not a competition, He loves us all equally inside and out.

The Differnce Between Santa and Jesus |

Here's something cool to think about for the Christmas Session as you go about your day!!
As Christmas time is here REMEMBER: Jesus is Better than Santa
Santa lives at the North Pole.
JESUS is everywhere.
Santa rides in a sleigh
JESUS rides on the wind and walks on the water.
Santa comes but once a year
JESUS is an ever present help.
Santa fills your stockings with goodies
JESUS supplies all your needs.
Santa comes down your chimney uninvited
JESUS stands at your door and knocks.. and then enters your heart.
You have to stand in line to see Santa
JESUS is as close as the mention of His name.
Santa lets you sit on his lap
JESUS lets you rest in His arms.
Santa doesn't know your name, all he can say is "Hi little boy or girl, What's your name?"
JESUS knew our name before we did. Not only does He know our name, He knows our address too. He knows our history and future and He even knows How many hairs are on our heads.
Santa has a belly like a bowl full of jelly
JESUS has a heart full of love.
All Santa can offer is HO HO HO
JESUS offers health, help and hope.
Santa says "You better not cry"
JESUS says "Cast all your cares on me for I care for you.
Santa's little helpers make toys
JESUS makes new life, mends wounded hearts, repairs broken homes and builds mansions.
Santa may make you chuckle but
JESUS gives you joy that is your strength.
While Santa puts gifts under your tree
JESUS became our gift and died on the tree.
It's obvious there is really no comparison. We need to remember WHO Christmas is all about. We need to put Christ back in Christmas. Jesus is still the reason for the season. May the Lord Bless and Watch over you and your loved ones this Christmas 2009 and may He prosper and bless the work of your hands in the New Year. |

This is one of the best clean jokes I've seen in a while!
Jesus and Satan were having an on-going argument about who was better on the computer. They had been going at it for days, and frankly God was tired of hearing all the bickering. Finally fed up, God said, 'THAT'S IT! I have had enough. I am going to set up a test that will run for two hours, and from those results, I will judge who does the better job.'
So Satan and Jesus sat down at the keyboards and typed away. They moused. They faxed. They e-mailed. They e-mailed with attachments. They downloaded. They did spreadsheets! They wrote reports. They created labels and cards. They created charts and graphs. They did some genealogy reports They did e very job known to man. Jesus worked with heavenly efficiency and Satan was faster than hell. Then, ten minutes before their time was up, lightning suddenly flashed across the sky, thunder rolled, rain poured, and, of course, the power went off. Satan stared at his blank screen and screamed every curse word known in the underworld. Jesus just sighed. Finally the electricity came back on, and each of them restarted their computers. Satan started searching frantically, screaming: 'It's gone! It's all GONE! 'I lost everything when the power went out!' Meanwhile, Jesus quietly started printing out all of his files from the past two hours of work. Satan observed this and became irate. 'Wait!' he screamed. 'That's not fair! He cheated! How come he has all his work and I don't have any?' God just shrugged and said, JESUS SAVES!!! |
