Turnaround

Title: turnaround. Why? When I came to Christ, I had to make a turnaround in my life. I am in the midst of a turnaround church, and Christ is still at work turning me around to following Him more closely.

Whatever works

I read this in "Us" magazine last week. Yes, I did read it, and they have this really neat section of quotes, so here it goes:

I’ll use whatever works. I’m not a follower of this or that religious leader. Ashton Kutcher on Kabbalah and faith

I saw a picture of Ashton a while back with a "Jesus is my homeboy" shirt on. He seems to be like much of our society, whatever works this week is what I'll do. By the way, I'm not knocking Ashton, I think he's really funny, he's just not someone I would want to follow theologically. I did qoute this in my sermon this week, though.

I believe I'll keep my faith where it is. I am a follower of One. He is alot more reliable than "this or that".

Coexist



I've been quite intriqued by this bumper sticker. There are an increasing amount of them showing up out here in LA. I got on a couple of web sites dealing with "coexist" and found these quotes:
  • I am so happy to be sporting a bumper sticker that says very simply all that i believe in. Your service was great, you were communicative, and the item arrived in great shape. Everyone asks me where I got it and I have directed them to the website.~ Portland, Oregon (2007-04-04)
  • Wow! What a super bumper sticker. It is of such higher quality than a normal bumper sticker. It's on the back of our Prius, Jane. We ordered ten of them and pass them out to people who like them. Thanks!!~ Clair, CA (2007-04-05)
This quote is from a "coexist" web site in the UK:
"God has given us many faiths but only one world in which to co-exist. May your work help all of us to cherish our commonalities and feel enlarged by our differences."Sir Jonathan Sacks, the Chief Rabbi of the United Hebrew Congregations
I'm thinking of using this in a sermon soon. What are your thoughts on it? How does this fit with a faith in Christ?
