Wouldn't it be great tho... if all of us who believe just walked out in the street and celebrated a Day for Jesus in Calvert County.
I saw the Rev. Weems on local access tv last night. He was calling for a Day for Jesus.
You know if we joined together and celebrated Jesus for one day, enthusiastically, in public, without ribbons or gift wrap... it would be a profound blessing on our communities.
Which day should we choose? September 11th?

Christmas and Easter have both been exploited.... we should just all do this...
How about August 6th? We need time to get the word out...

So do I...
Think of it as calling out the army... people are in the army everyday... but they are called on events.... We could say we are called to celebrate ....
It wouldn't cost us anything.... we could spread the word through churches... word of mouth... it's evangelistic...
Amen, or should be.HottChild said:

In My Opinion

Im sorry but I have a hard time believing in any politician that begins to get all religious on the masses. It sounds too much like they are playing into the voting block.
Stick with your other ideas, they are all good, valid and worthy of a vote... except for that little issue of bringing in the deadbeats through an "affordable" housing program. Lose that and all could be good.

Christians need to stop apologizing for what we believe. Belief in Jesus as God, Savior, and Lord is what makes Christians Christians. If people are offended by you being a Christian, don't worry about it. Jesus said people would be upset at those that follow Him, even their own family will despise them.
Christians should take heart when others find us different.
I think that Luke 6:22 pretty well sums things up:
"Blessed are you when men hate you, and ostracize you, and insult you, and scorn your name as evil, for the sake of the Son of Man."
I celebrate a day for Jesus every week. There's a pastor and music and we all meet in these buildings and worship together. Unless we had a huge multi-denominational march of some sort I can't see that this would even be noticed by the public at large.
Maybe if the press paid more attention to church groups and their activities like Christmas in April, Habitat for Humanity, Meals on Wheels, Hospice Care, Family Counseling, and helping the poor in our communities we wouldn't feel ignored. Then again it doesn't matter if we get attention, does it? We know the good that we do and so does the Lord.

(1) The person that left you the red is an idiot because this is posted in religion and not politics. (2) Just because you mention Jesus, doesn't make you a religious fanatic (and there's nothing wrong with that anyway) (3) No need for an apology, no one here is uncomfortable except the idiot that left you the red.
Good scripture. Thanks.tlatchaw said:
The press doesn't notice anything good, especially Christian. The troops in Iraq and Afghanistan complain that all the news they see about the wars is bad news; never anything about all the good things that are being done and the "wins" everyday. Most of the press is liberal and want the war to go badly so the Democrats can get back in power. For similar reason, the liberal press don't much like the Christian way of life since it calls for absolutes and not telling lies is one of those absolutes. Wouldn't it be refreshing to have all the news being only news; just the facts, who, what, when, where, and how. The news would be the same no matter what source to got it from. It might be boring, but you would have the facts and could make up your own mind about the effect on you and the world around you.
Here is more scripture about a Christian's relationship to the others of the world. Jesus is speaking.
