I've been reading through Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis lately. In the book, he creates a sort of "basics list" for Christianity, things that, regardless of denomination, everyone calling themselves a follower of Christ will agree on. It's too funny how much there is that we all agree on, and the things that we diverge on are eternally unimportant. But I digress.
The first point Lewis makes in his book is that there is a universal "Law of Nature," a moral standard that we're all programmed with that guides how we treat each other. The basic idea is this--everyone feels a sense of right and wrong. We may not always behave like we do, and we may sometimes even deliberately go against that sense, but its still there. Lewis uses World War II as an example. Without a sense of right and wrong, who are we to say that what Hitler did with his power was wrong? But there is a sense of right and wrong, so we can make judgment calls like that.
The second point he makes is that everybody, at some point in there life, will do wrong even in complete knowledge of what is right. Now the offense varies. It may be something as simple as lying about why you were late to work to avoid trouble, or something as serious as killing a man for his shoes, but everyone at some point is going to do wrong even though we all know what is right.
I can't speak for everyone, but from what I have experienced, I know that these two points are true. Think about it. If you tell a little boy to stay away from the cookie jar, and he gets caught trying to sneak his hand in, what is the first thing he does? He hides his hands behind his back, because he knows that what he is doing is against the rules, which are assumed to be right. Everyone of us is built with an idea that there is a right and wrong. As for all of us breaking it, if we're honest with ourselves, we know that's true, too. All of us, at some point in our lives, made a temporary decision that the rewards of breaking the rules were better than obeying them.
Now, let's take a look at this in light of what we discussed last time. God, who according to the Bible is perfect, cannot let sin go by unpunished. He is loving, and it pains Him to punish His children when they break His law, but He has to punish or He would no longer, by definition, be God. We saw that in the Garden of Eden. God had every right to destroy Adam and Eve right then and there, but He didn't. However, he did give punishment for the wrongs that were committed.
So if God has to punish those who break the moral standard of right and wrong, and everyone at some point in there life intentionally does wrong, then what does that mean? It means that God has to punish everyone. Every human being, at some point in his/her life, will do something to deserve punishment from the God that created him/her.
I know, I know. That sounds really harsh. But let's remember a couple of things. First, if God decided to let evil, or doing wrong, go unpunished, He would no longer be just, and would therefore no longer be the standard of good that He is. In order for God to be God, He must punish evil. Secondly, even though God is just, He is also loving. I mean, you don't see people suddenly dying on the side of the street the minute they do something wrong. (If that were the case, I'd be dead a thousand times over already). He stays His hand, finding a way, because He is God after all, to satisfy the requirement for justice and at the same time not strike us dead for all the evil we do.
And what exactly is that way? How is God able to punish the evil that we do without taking us out completely? Well, that's where Jesus comes into play. We'll go into more detail next time about exactly how it works, but the basics can be summed in Paul's words to Rome:
"Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be silenced and the whole world held accountable to God. For no one is declared righteous before Him by the works of the law, for through the law comes the knowledge of sin. But now apart from the law the righteousness of God (which is attested by the law and the prophets) has been disclosed--namely the righteousness of God through the faithfulness of Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. But they are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus. God publicly displayed Him at his death as the mercy seat accessible through faith. This was to demonstrate His righteousness, because God in His forbearance passed over the sins previously committed. This was also to demonstrate his righteousness in the present time, so that he would be just and the justifier of the one who lives because of Jesus' faithfulness." ---Romans 3:19-26
Basically, to borrow the words of graffiti written on bathroom stalls in truck stops, "Jesus is the answer." Literally. Jesus provided a way to satisfy the justice that God had to show against our sin without taking us out in the process. This way, God's favorite creation, you and me, doesn't get destroyed, and at the same time, God is able to do what His nature commands and punish sin.
As I said, we'll go into more detail next time. For a preview, read Romans 5:6-11. As per usual, feel free to comment, ask questions, or whatever you want to do. I'm open to anything and everything you want to share.

Who is God exactly?
It's interesting flipping through channels and hearing what different televangelists think about God and comparing it to what we hear in the pulpit Sunday after Sunday. I often find that two viewpoints generally seem to show themselves:
1.) God is a grandfatherly figure, sitting on the front porch to Heaven in His rocking chair, desperately hoping that any minute His children will come walking down the road to see him. He gives blessings every chance he gets and feels wrenched when we hurt. He doesn't care what anyone has done. All he wants is for us to be healthy, wealthy, and happy. If we would just believe that, he could give us that. Ask Him, and He will provide.
2.) God is a judge with a gavel, ready to pronounce sentence on all who trespass against His law. Those who are obedient to Him are blessed, and those who turn from Him are cursed. Death, disease, natural disasters--these are God's wrath against the sinfulness of man. And pray that you do not become one of the select few who learn the truth and then fall. That has the greatest shame of all--to know God and fail him.
Personally, neither one sounds quite right. I agree with the first view that God is a loving God, who wants the best for His children. But at the same time, He is also a just God, and a mighty God, one who smites the enemies of His children. That's not exactly grandfatherly. I agree with the second view that God enforces His law, and anyone who goes against that law will be worthy of punishment. But God is not a tyrant. He's not sitting in Heaven waiting for us to fall so He can throw us in the spiritual slammer.
Looking at the first few chapters of Genesis, I noticed a several things:
(1) Man is the only creation that God breathed the breath of life into. (Gensis 2:7)
(2) Man is the only creation that was made in His image. (Gensis 1:27)
(3) Man is given dominion over all other creatures. (Gensis 1:26)
(4) Man is the only creature God gave a law to. (Gensis 2:15-17)
(5) When Man broke that law, God didn't kill them right there and then. He punished them, but He let them live, and He provided clothing for them. (Genesis 3:21)
(6) God punished the serpent worse than Man, and predicted that ultimately Man would be victorious over the serpent. (Genesis 3:15)
(7) God wanted to avoid further pain for Man, so He sent them away. (Genesis 3:22)
When I think about the circumstances surrounding the events of Genesis 1-3, I notice something very important. Of all creation, Man is God's favorite creation. (Of course when I say "Man," I am referring to mankind, as in males and females. Much love to the ladies ;-) ) Its the only creation that was given the breath of life, it was the only creation given dominion over anything else, and it was the only creation given a responsibility to keep. For all of His marvelous and beautiful works in all of the universe, His favorite one is us...mankind.
That of course makes the fall of Man all the more painful. God's most prized creation ends up disobeying Him and siding with an enemy. As much of a favorite as we are to Him, that makes us that much more deserving of punishment for the evil will commit. We are God's equivalent to the Mona Lisa, and we just decided to dump ourselves into a bucket of mixed finger paints.
But as bad as Man's fall was, and as much as we deserved a good smack on the head (really worse), God holds His hand back. Now He has to do something, because to ignore the transgression would be breaking the law, too, and God would not be God if He did that. But, when He had every right to strike Adam and Eve dead right then, He instead punished their livelihood. Adam would now have to work the ground to get food, and Eve would have a lot of pain giving birth to children. But the main point is that they would both still be alive to experience those hardships, not erased from all existence.
But God is not incapable of complete wrath. Look at the serpent. He got the worst of it, because in the end, he would be the one with a crushed head. Apparently, tricking His favorite creation into doing evil is not a good idea.
The last thing God does is make clothes for Adam and Eve and sends them away from the garden. I see this as an act of mercy, firstly because Adam and Eve knew they were naked, and it ashamed them. So rather than let them walk around with the shame that they felt, as He had every right to do, He decides to give them clothes to help them recapture some sense of dignity.
Sending them away is an act of mercy in this--think of what would have happened if God let them stay. They would have still eaten from the Tree of Life, which means they would have lived forever. They would have lived forever, having to deal with the shame of being in God's presence, feeling their nakedness in front of Him, and being constantly reminded that they screwed up. All the wonders and glory of Eden, and here were two blemishes in the mix, the creatures who ruined God's plan and condemned to feel the shame of it for all eternity. (Remember those dreams you have where your standing in front of your entire high school naked as a jaybird. Think of that but a hundred times worse.) No, the best thing to do would be to send them away, out of the Garden, where they could feel some sense of separation from God and His wonders, to be removed from the shame for a little while. It was an act of mercy that made God send them away.
So, all in all, when it comes down to who God is, the grandfather or the judge, He is actually a balance of both. God loves us, because we are His most prized creation, and it pains Him to punish us for the evil we commit. But God is also just. He has to punish evil, because if He didn't, He would no longer be the standard for goodness that He is. By His nature, He must punish evil, even if it hurts Him to do so.
Of course there is so much more that could be said on this topic, but for the sake of time let's focus on this: God is just; He must and will punish mankind for breaking His law. But God is also love. He wants to spare us from punishment if there is a way. The Good News (pun intended) is that because God is love, He has provided a way so that we are spared punishment and His just nature is still upheld. We'll discuss that more next time. Read Romans 3:23 and 6:23 for a preview.
Feel free to leave comments or questions; the whole reason I'm doing this is to encourage discussion. :-) Thanks again for reading.

A second welcome...
My last post seemed to have issues with html, so in the event that you could not read it, this post will summarize the last one.
Basically, I've noticed a trend in church, that being the buildings where people gather like sheep on a Sunday morning, mindlessly sing the same songs over and over again, fight to stay awake through a middle-aged man's lecture on morality, and then go eat at McCallister's and essentially forget the whole experience. This is where people go to be shunned, rejected, ostricized, and emotionally beaten to the ground. Those who have suffered the pain and heartache of divorce are called adulterers. Teenage girls who gave themselves away in a moment of weakness are branded as harlots. Men who have tatoos and piercings are labeled as rebellious youth and quickly told to dress better for "God's house." Those who think the Bible and evolution might actually work hand in hand are targeted like traitors. And if anyone wants to join a denomination they weren't necessarily raised in, they have to be baptized again, whether they were truly born again or not.
I don't think this is what Christ had in mind when he said, "To the ends of the earth, you will be witnesses." In fact, the only examples I see in scripture of people being ostricized for not fitting the mold are when the Pharisees were doing the ostricizing, and Jesus called them a "pit of vipers." He called tax collectors to be His disciples, associated himself with Samirtans and lepers, and defended prostitutes against self-righteous men. While He took the outcast in, the church today seems bent on turning them away.
So, I've created this blog as a way of trying to get back to basics. I want to look and see who Jesus really is, not necessarily what the church says He is. I want to be able to openly discuss things like baptism, evolution, denominational differences, and social taboos without having this fear that I'll be humiliated for not going with flow. I want to be the one that befriends the divorcee and the pregnant teen, and in time letting my love for them point them to Christ instead of lecture after lecture of how they are depraved sinners and "need to be more like me....er.....who I am in Christ."
I'm not advocating watering down the truth. That would be just as much if not more wrong than ostricizing someone. And I'm not suggesting we should make a new church. That would only further perpetuate the problem. What I am saying is that a lot of groups calling themselves "churches" need to re-evaluate how close to Jesus they really are. And I am begging those of you who say, "I am not a Christian because of Christians," don't label all of Christ's followers the same as those people. Give me a chance to show you who Jesus really is, and then make your decision.
Feel free to comment on any of these posts; tell me what you think about what I talk about and what I say. Email me, message me, whatever, and we'll talk about whatever you want to discuss. But most importantly, don't take my word for anything. Read the Bible for yourself and see if what I say lines up. But at least give me a chance to restore some of the good will that has been lost for Christ's church.
Thank you for taking the time to read this blog. My first post will be up within a few days.

Welcome to the Outcasts...
Then he added, “Now go and learn the meaning of this Scripture: ‘I want you to show mercy, not offer sacrifices.’ For I have come to call not those who think they are righteous, but those who know they are sinners.” –Mark 9:13
I get sick and tired of hearing things like this…
“You can join our church if you allow me to baptize you again.”
“If you’re a Democrat you have no moral standards at all.”
“You can’t believe the Bible and believe in evolution.”
“Your body is a temple. You desecrate God’s temple when you get piercings and tattoos.”
“You can’t serve here. You’re divorced.”
“We can’t throw your daughter a baby shower. She’s not married. How would that look?”
Somewhere along the way, Christians have gotten this crazy idea that they are the ones who pass judgment on mankind, not God. They open their arms to everyone…that is, everyone who has ink free skin, wears ties on Sunday morning, and believes everything the preacher says blindly, because it’s “from the Bible.” And if someone doesn’t fit into that category, well then they just need to change before they can be part of this family.
I’ve seen and experienced it all. My aunt was put to shame when no one showed up to her baby shower, because she was pregnant outside of marriage. My wife, because she wasn’t baptized in a Baptist church, was humiliated by a former pastor when she tried to join my church. My sister was the target of lecture after lecture at another church, because she thought there was some merit to the idea of evolution. My friend was alienated at a BCM Bible Study because he didn’t agree with 5-point Calvinism. My wife’s friend has been rejected by church after church because the man she wants to marry was raised Catholic. I’ve been told I’m not saved because I don’t speak in tongues or because I was baptized “in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit” as opposed to “in Jesus’ name.” I’ve seen churches next door to black communities be filled with white people, and I’ve heard sermons where the black preacher calls for an offering so they don’t have to “pay the white man interest.”
At first, I was naïve enough to believe that these were isolated incidents, just a few bad apples in the otherwise good bushel. I mean, after hearing what some of these preachers are preaching about unity and togetherness, surely it can’t be right that the people who say “God is love” are as a whole prejudiced and judgmental against anything that they are not familiar with. But time and time again I face the consequences of a church that has become much like the Pharisees Jesus spoke so strongly against. For months, my wife felt like she was the unwanted step-child of the church, “sneaking in” so she could be a member. Her friend feels like a heathen because she can’t find a church willing to marry her. And my sister has written off God as a non-priority, because the people that claim to follow Him made her feel evil.
When I look in Scripture, the only people that Jesus treated this way were the Pharisees, and it was mostly because they were proud and arrogant. He called tax collectors to be his disciples, befriended Samaritans, and was seen socializing with prostitutes. He challenged centuries of tradition and made the established religion shake with fear. I’m beginning to think we need another visit from Jesus, just so he can shake up the arrogance of the churches today, and start reaching the hurting and lost again.
Well, obviously if Jesus does come back, we’ll have more important things to worry about than the proud and arrogant. But until He gets here, he’s left us to do the best we can. And that’s what this blog is all about.
Before I get too involved in this, I want to clarify some things. I want to explain what this blog is not.
First of all, this blog is not trying to form a new denomination. That would defeat the purpose of removing prejudices and judgment. Denominations are good. They attract different types of people to different types of worship. They’re not wrong, and separating from them won’t fix any of the problems that denominations have. It would only further propagate the problem.
Second, this blog is not meant to judge others. Yes, there are people out there who are the embodiment of the Pharisee, and yes, what they have done is hurtful and horrible and detrimental to the function of Christ’s body. But the minute we look down our noses at them for what they are, we become the very thing that we are trying so hard to get rid of.
Lastly, this blog is not a sugar-coated, feel-good blog. We’re not going to water down the Bible so that it doesn’t offend anyone. The premise behind the entire book is that we as humans are evil and wretched and deserve eternal punishment. That’s a hard pill to swallow, but it’s what the Bible says, and to deviate from that is to teach what is wrong. Leading someone down the wrong path is just as bad if not worse than shunning them for what they are. But know this, whatever truth that is taught, if it is really truth, can stand to be debated and discussed. We won’t always agree on everything, and that’s ok. We’re not trying to start fights and get people riled up. But we’re not going to hold back on something because we want to be non-offensive.
Now, I want to clarify what this blog is.
First, this blog is for all people, regardless of religion, race, gender, sexual orientation, age, or favorite NFL team. We are going to teach the Christian Bible. We are going to discuss its truths and its lessons. But we’re not going to turn away anyone, even if they don’t believe in it. We are open to discussion and debate, to challenge each other’s beliefs and discover what it is that we truly believe. If our faith in the Bible is based on truth, then it should be able to handle questions and disagreements without threatening the person questioning or disagreeing.
Second, this blog is a place to get support and learn to get past the hurt. My guess is if you’re coming to this blog, it means that somewhere along the line a person claiming to follow Christ hurt you, and did it while he/she was waving Christ’s name around like a banner. Almost everyone else here has been in the exact same situation. We’re all trying to figure things out, to understand who Jesus really is, not who Baptists or Pentecostals or Catholics say he is. This place is safe, a haven where you can heal. And if you ever feel like that is changing, let us know and we’ll put a stop to whatever it is that’s threatening that safety. Our purpose is to lift up, not tear down.
As for what we talk about here, the answer is simple…we talk about everything. If it’s important to you, it’s important to talk about. The Bible doesn’t speak to every particular situation that you could possibly come across, but it does give us some guidelines as to what to do in those situations. And, as with most guidelines, there is some room for interpretation as to what exactly those guidelines say. No topic is inappropriate. We will talk about everything from politics to faith to sex to ice cream flavors. Is it a sin to drink? We’ll talk about it. What does God think about obesity? We’ll talk about it. God and His word are big enough to handle any topic, and we’ll discuss each one until we either find a consensus or agree to disagree.
Ultimately, what I want to do is create a sense of family where one has been lost. People should never feel scorned or shunned by Christians, and sadly that has happened all too often. So, hopefully, this is a place where people can go to see Christians as they are supposed to be, not as they appear to be. Thank you for reading.
Keep Soaring,
B
