Like I noted on your blog, I especially like the "openly scandalous lifestyle" comment. Groovy, man! By the way, it looks like your meme post got hit by some spam-comment 'bots. <b>@Jason:</b> Thanks for most excellent contribution! I especially liked your comment: <blockquote>Jesus is my identity, in the body of Christ. I find who I am in the people of God, in the mission of Jesus in history.</blockquote> This is something I struggle with often because my sense of who I am is so often bound up with the lies of my past, and even the true sins of my past, that I find it hard to truly accept his grace and embrace the adoption he's provided me. In my reading today I thought I would cover more of 1 Timothy 1 than I did, but I got stopped on verse two, where Paul addresses Timothy as his son in the faith. I just couldn't get past that and had to spend some time thinking about my own sense of son-ship to my Heavenly Father.

And if you read the things people wrote I honestly think you'll see that there's a lot more being said that is good, beuatiful, edifying, noteworthy, and praiseworthy. I think if you read them, you'll dig what we're all saying! But you can <i>also</i> be happy that nobody tagged you! I can dig that. And thanks for your apology, by the way.

This is something I struggle with often because my sense of who I am is so often bound up with the lies of my past, and even the true sins of my past, that I find it hard to truly accept his grace and embrace the adoption he’s provided me. In my reading today I thought I would cover more of 1 Timothy 1 than I did, but I got stopped on verse two, where Paul addresses Timothy as his son in the faith.

I just couldn’t get past that and had to spend some time thinking about my own sense of son-ship to my Heavenly Father.

Needs some more thinking on, I believe.

I was way out of line in the manner in which I responded. I am very sorry to have caused offense. That is definitely a sin. Coram Deo, Gracie You’re very correct.

I agree w/much of what you had to say. Disagreement is one thing, offence yet another; but the scalding tone of your remarks- was that necessary? I played the 5 things about Jesus meme. As I recall, when I reposted it, I changed dig to love. I thought I had done it inadvertantly, but it must have been some subconscious thought similar to what you are saying. None the less, much comraderie has come out of the meme. And certainly Jesus gets the glory if your are talking about why you love, serve, worship, obey, or even 'dig' Him. @amazing; In principle.

Why do you guys think it's so cool to "DIG" your Lord and Saviour? I am so tired of the "church" denigrating things spiritual and relegating them to the common, like the "Veggie Tales." It's abominable! My Lord is not "diggable." I'm sorry yours is. He's not my buddy - he's my LORD! It's no wonder the world sits back and laughs at us. How can we expect them to respect Christ when we don't? This is a meme, as a Christian, I would NOT participate in. Why do you guys think it’s so cool to “DIG” your Lord and Saviour?
