Its a bummer that so many of you have seen bogus christianty. Yes we who have received salvation... are saved by grace and grace alone... not by works.. but it is not a license to sin. I figure... most of the postings above are against the Truth... so why not speak up for what I believe in. The word tells us to let our light shine! Again... if you don't like it... take it up with God. I did did not write the Living Word of God... But do desire to walk in complete surrender to it in my life. For those of you who care... check out Matthew 7... it some great nuggets relating to such.

Mat 7:1 "Do not judge so that you will not be judged.
Mat 7:2 "For in the way you judge, you will be judged; and by your standard of measure, it will be measured to you.
Mat 7:3 "Why do you look at the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?
Mat 7:4 "Or how can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' and behold, the log is in your own eye?
Mat 7:5 "You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye.
Mat 7:6 "Do not give what is holy to dogs, and do not throw your pearls before swine, or they will trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.
Mat 7:7 "Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.
Mat 7:8 "For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.
Mat 7:9 "Or what man is there among you who, when his son asks for a loaf, will give him a stone?
Mat 7:10 "Or if he asks for a fish, he will not give him a snake, will he?
Mat 7:11 "If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give what is good to those who ask Him!
Mat 7:12 "In everything, therefore, treat people the same way you want them to treat you, for this is the Law and the Prophets.
Mat 7:13 "Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it.
Mat 7:14 "For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it.
Mat 7:15 "Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves.
Mat 7:16 "You will know them by their fruits. Grapes are not gathered from thorn {bushes} nor figs from thistles, are they?
Mat 7:17 "So every good tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears bad fruit.
Mat 7:18 "A good tree cannot produce bad fruit, nor can a bad tree produce good fruit.
Mat 7:19 "Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
Mat 7:20 "So then, you will know them by their fruits.
Mat 7:21 "Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven {will enter.}
Mat 7:22 "Many will say to Me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?'
Mat 7:23 "And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.'
Mat 7:24 "Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them, may be compared to a wise man who built his house on the rock.
Mat 7:25 "And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and {yet} it did not fall, for it had been founded on the rock.
Mat 7:26 "Everyone who hears these words of Mine and does not act on them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand.
Mat 7:27 "The rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and it fell--and great was its fall."
Mat 7:28 When Jesus had finished these words, the crowds were amazed at His teaching;
Mat 7:29 for He was teaching them as {one} having authority, and not as their scribes.

I really fail to see what Matthew 7 has to do with the topic of this thread, but hey.

There are many ways to "let your light shine." Jesus also cautioned his followers not to make their religion public in order to impress others with how spiritual they are (See Matthew 6. )

REO Dayton, I think the first thing anyone should do is pray but someone should have called for help while everyone else was praying.

Who you believe the creator to be and the values you want to live to is a personal decision for everyone.

Everyone has a right to there opinion.I don't have to agree with it but I certainly DO NOT have the right to CRAM my point of view down someone else's throat and hammer them into submission.

I am more AGAINST religion and more for a PERSONAL daily relationship with who I beleive the creator to be.I get more out of a daily walk then people who are one person all week and then another on Sunday.I don't like getting caught up in the UGLY political side of religion.I have seen it turn of many people from seeking a relationship with there creator.

Most of my clients are interested in the value of homes in the neighborhood... or average days on market... or what's going on with interest rates or the credit market right now.

Some of them like to know where I bought that nice tie I'm wearing.

Or where the good restaurants are...

Seemingly pointless but useful bits of information like that.

silly
