Why I hate Religion, But love Jesus....

Pleas watch this, it is amazing, it changed my view of religion.

I no longer am a christian, but a child of God.

Is this video not so true?

don't some just dress up the outside, but in the inside they don't look as pretty?

By giving your live to Jesus you make the biggest commitment of your live and therefore you need to be ready for it, so that you can live as an example to others of how Christ teaches us to live, we need to be compassionate about Lord our savior and stand strong in time of trouble and instead of falling down and giving up, we should fall in front of Him and let Jesus show us the way and trust in Him so we can make the right choices and decisions.

Yes i confess i am one who loves to share the word of God on my Facebook, but i believe that sharing something that means allot to me, might just mean more to someone else, but i live each day as God commands me and keep Him NR1.

I love this poem and every word is so true, it explains why some run when Christians start talking about their religion.

I HATE RELIGION BUT LOVE JESUS.

What do you think???

My FaV SoNg......... (Not alone- Red)

                                                                         

                                                                "Not Alone"

Slowly fading away
You're lost and so afraid
Where is the hope in a world so cold
Looking for a distant light
Someone who could save a life
You're living in fear that no one will hear your cries
Can you save me now


I am with you
I will carry you through it all
I won't leave you I will catch you
When you feel like letting go
Cause your not, your not alone


Your heart is full of broken dreams
Just a fading memory
And everything's gone but the pain carries on
Lost in the rain again
When will it ever end
The arms of relief seem so out of reach
But I, I am here


I am with you
I will carry you through it all
I won't leave you I will catch you
When you feel like letting go
Cause your not, your not alone


And I'll be your hope when you feel like its over
And I will pick you up when your whole world shatters
And when you're finally in my arms
Look up and see love has a face


I am with you
I will carry you through it all
I won't leave you I will catch you
When you feel like letting go
Cause you're not, you're not alone


And I will be your hope
And I will pick you up
And I will be your hope
And I will be your hope


Slow fading away
Your lost and so afraid
Where is the hope in a world so cold

YOU ArE SpEsiAL.....

He wants you to know:

how much you are loved

you are here for a special reason

you are unique (redheads too)

no one else means more to Him than you.

Read for yourself....

BIBLE VERSES

---

“And yet, O Lord, you are our Father. We are the clay, and you are the potter. We all are formed by your hand.” (Isaiah 64:8)

"You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother’s womb. Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous – how well I know it.
You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion, as I was woven together in the dark of the womb. You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed.
How precious are your thoughts about me, O God. They cannot be numbered!” (Ps. 139:13-17)

[Jesus speaking...]“Beware that you don't look down on any of these little ones [children]. For I tell you that in heaven their angels are always in the presence of my heavenly Father." (Matthew 18:10)

“You know when I sit down or stand up. You know my thoughts even when I’m far away. You see me when I travel and when I rest at home. You know everything I do. You know what I am going to say even before I say it, Lord. (Psalm 139:2-4)

[Jesus speaking..] “What is the price of 5 sparrows – 2 copper coins? Yet God does not forget a single one of them. And the very hairs on your head are all numbered. So don’t be afraid. .. you are more valuable to God than a whole flock of sparrows.” (Luke 12:6)

“Don’t let anyone think less of you because you are young. Be an example to all believers.” (I Timothy 4:12)

“God created human beings in His own image. In the image of God, He created them. Because you are made in God’s image, you are a reflection of His glory and valuable. God loves you and made you to be like Him.(Genesis 1:27)

“For God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son [Jesus], so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life”(John 3:16

"God showed how much he loved us by sending his one and only Son [Jesus] into the world so that we might have eternal life through him. This is real love – not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins.”
(1 John 4:9-10

(All Bible verses are from the 'New Living Translation' Second Edition.)
....If you want to read more about this God who loves you, find a Bible translation you can understand easily, such as this version (NLT), and start reading in the New Testament of the Bible with the book of John or Luke and even the Psalms. Ask God to reveal Himself to you through the Bible verses and see what happens :) !! -- If this is new to you, Bible verses are found in the Old and New Testaments using chapter and verse numbers. So, Luke 1:2 means the book of Luke, chapter 1, verse 2.)

International Justice Mission, HELP PLEASE!

Recently I met a new friend on twitter and he has a very important mission and thats to STOP child molestation and also drug usage by youth, i have a very big passion for children and wanted to do research to see how i can help this cause, and came across this website http://www.ijm.org and there are all sorts of ways to get involved and help, they are the Internasional Justice Mission.

Who They Are

About IJM

International Justice Mission is a human rights agency that brings rescue to victims of slavery, sexual exploitation and other forms of violent oppression. IJM lawyers, investigators and aftercare professionals work with local officials to secure immediate victim rescue and aftercare, to prosecute perpetrators and to ensure that public justice systems - police, courts and laws - effectively protect the poor. 

Our Vision: To rescue thousands, protect millions and prove that justice for the poor is possible. ™

IJM's justice professionals work in their communities in 13 countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America to secure tangible and sustainable protection of national laws through local court systems.

IJM Collaborative Casework

IJM investigators, lawyers and social workers intervene in individual cases of abuse in partnership with state and local authorities to ensure proper support for the victim and appropriate action against the perpetrator. Such collaboration is essential to obtain convictions against individual perpetrators and to bring meaning to local laws that are meaningless if not enforced. Learn more about the work of IJM.

History

Founded in 1997, IJM began operations in response to a massive need. Historically, humanitarian and missions organizations worked faithfully and courageously to bring healthcare, education, food and other vital services to those who needed them. But little had been done to actually restrain the oppressors who are a source of great harm to the vulnerable.

Concerned by this need, a group of lawyers, human rights professionals and public officials launched an extensive study of the injustices witnessed by overseas missionaries and relief and development workers. This study, surveying more than 65 organizations and representing 40,000 overseas workers, uncovered a nearly unanimous awareness of abuses of power by police and other authorities in the communities where they served. Without the resources or expertise to confront the abuse and to bring rescue to the victims, these overseas workers required the assistance of trained public justice professionals.

Gary Haugen, working as a lawyer at the U.S. Department of Justice and as the United Nations' Investigator in Charge in the aftermath of the Rwandan genocide, founded International Justice Mission as a response to this massive need. Today, IJM has grown to more than 300 professionals working in their own communities to fight injustice.

IJM's Response Today

Through individual casework, IJM confronts aggressive human violence: violence that strips widows and orphans of their property and livelihoods, violence that steals dignity and health from children trafficked into forced prostitution, violence that denies freedom and security to families trapped in slavery.

Violence against the poor is not driven by the overwhelming power of the perpetrators – it is driven by the vulnerability of the victims. This violence can be stopped when the power of the law is brought to bear on behalf of those who need it, and when people of good will contribute their financial and professional resources to insisting it stop.

IJM's casework model combats victimization and violence on the level of the individual, and supports functioning public justice systems where the poor urgently need an advocate.

Core Commitments

In the tradition of heroic Christian leaders like abolitionist William Wilberforce and transformational leaders like Mother Teresa and Martin Luther King, Jr., IJM's staff stand against violent oppression in response to the Bible's call to justice (Isaiah 1:17): Seek justice, rescue the oppressed, defend the orphan, plead for the widow.

IJM seeks to restore to victims of oppression the things that God intends for them: their lives, their liberty, their dignity, the fruits of their labor. By defending and protecting individual human rights, IJM seeks to engender hope and transformation for those it serves and restore a witness of courage in places of oppressive violence. IJM helps victims of oppression regardless of their religion, ethnicity, or gender.

Moving Forward

IJM has seen significant progress in its fight against oppression and injustice in the past 10 years, and remains committed to expanding its work in the next decade.

IJM continues to build networks with aftercare and other social service and government providers to ensure long-term care of clients. IJM will continue to secure prosecutions of perpetrators and contribute to positive structural change through on-the-ground involvement with the casework, courts and people of local justice systems around the world.

Jesus Loves....

a Few days ago I saw this picture and at first I was quit upset until I really thought about it, its true you know, Jesus does Love them, just as much as He loves me and you.

These words do not define that person but rather their behavior, but whats the difference between them repenting, and me? NONE there is no difference , if it comes from your hart and you are truly sorry about it, and will not do it again, Jesus will FORGIVE!!

Who are we to Judge, when its not our right, not our place, Jesus did not Judge, He loves no matter what your sin, He will take it away and leave you spotless....

Remember God picked you on purpose. He's not surprised by you because He chose you! Nothing you can say or do will catch Him off guard, He know what your thinking even before you did, He knows what your going to do next even before you do, still He love you just as you are because He created you, He thought you out, He counted the hairs on your head and breathed His breath into you to create live! He even engraved His love on your heart to show to the world.

So don't judge and reject people because their behavior is as above, but rather show them the love of God, Jesus and turn the light on in their hearts.

FooD fOr ThouGhT:

What our Youth need is spiritual nurture. They need to be taught the ways of God. They need to understand that all of life rushes toward the day when we shall stand before God and give account. They need to learn about the pervasive effects of the fall on the human condition. They need answers to the great problems of life.
