My life striving to honor the Lord and raise three boys
Children are not a burden to escape or endure; they are a blessing that drives us to Christ because we are incapable of parenting well without Him. - Kim Brenneman

Alright I would love it if you'all would watch this and tell me what you think. It's 4 minutes long... but i think it's worth the watch.
It's going in the more loving direction I think. My favourite line was something along the lines of "just because you think you have sight does not mean others are blind." Excellent. I'm just thankful that there are people stepping up to define religion versus Love/Jesus. Whenever I say Love I mean the Divine Three. Other thoughts- it was still a bit more packed in christian lingo than I liked but I realized it's marketing toward those in Christian circles who get that so then I was fine with it. I read some of the comments and those from other beliefs were confused or insulted but I think it was meant to challenge those inside the faith instead of speak out for all people groups. Funny enough this is going around the email groups at the christian school here and in large religious circles. Sometimes I wonder if they realize how opposite the thing is that is being passed around from what is sometimes taught. It seems like many want to get on board with just Jesus but then fall heavily back on religion in their daily lives and rules. It's confusing isn't it?:) I'm glad you were inspired. Thanks for sharing!
K- I love your imput, glad you added thoughts to this post. I agree it is very much aimed towards the Christian circles. I saw it through a post of a girl who I use to be a youth leader for. I think that it is a great thought about religion that is center around the gospel (because there're other religions that are not centered Round the gospel and for some reason Christians think that they have the monopoly on religion ) I like the message that he is putting out for those who are in the "Christian circle" .... The sad truth is that many may like this message, but actually living out life like Christdid is a whole other story!
