I am looking for guest bloggers to write an article about Jesus Christ of any length, if that is you let me know.
I want this blog to be a place where he is revealed not only by myself but by others.
If you have something to share please comment below or message me at collierak@me.com. You can do it!
As you may know I enjoy writing about creativity and about Jesus Christ on this site. So I want to share a project I have been working on for about 4 months…
We create two lists, one list of what is good and one list of what is bad. When we are able to live up to our lists we pick up the attitude of the self-righteous and begin poking at others.
The Pharisee stood and was praying this to himself: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other people: swindlers, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax collector (bad list). I fast twice a week; I pay tithes ofall that I get (good list).’ But the tax collector, standing some distance away, was even unwilling to lift up his eyes to heaven, but was beating his breast, saying, ‘God be merciful to me, the sinner!’ (Luke 18:11-13)
The sinful attitude of the self-righteous caused God to turn away from the Pharisee even as he went out of his way to pray.
Our two lists are not always inspired by religion, they may be inspired by politics or painful experiences or some self defined morality or the need to feel superior.
God forgive me…self-righteous sinner.
