General Things I Have To Say! | ||||||||
Well "hello" everyone. And welcome to Contempo Christian. It's kind of a whack name. But I needed to think up of something. Well this site is kinda bland right now. But I'm going to try and spice it up a little. This site was created after countless failures of other sites i made. But this site has a purpose. It's to help people get to know God. And I think that's a good purpose! Well enjoy and email me any comments. | ||||||||

Good Measure Bible Reading: Deuteronomy 30:11-20 I have commanded you today to love the Lord your God and to keep His commands, laws, and regulations by walking in his ways�.Choose to love the Lord your God and to obey Him and commit yourself to him, for he is your life. Deuteronomy 30:16, 20 A Thermometer A tape measure A yardstick A speedometer A pressure gauge God What do the above have in common? They're all standards of measurement. "Wait a minute," you may respond. "What's God doing on the list?" Well, like a thermometer or a yardstick or a pressure gauge, God himself is a standard or measurement. If you want to measure distance, you might use a yard. If you want to measure the speed your car is going, you might use a speedometer, if you want to measure the rightness or wrongness of an attitude or action, you measure it against God's values. Is something wrong or right? Compare it to God. Is it OK to lie as long as you're not hurting anybody? Compare it to God. He says, "Do not lie" (Leviticus 19:11) because he values truth. He values truth because he is truth itself (John 14:6). Is it right to hate somebody who has hurt you? Compare it to God. He says, "Love each other"(John 13:34) because he values love. He values love because he is love (1 John 4:8, 16) Is it right to hold grudges? Is it right to keep something that doesn't belong to you? Is it right to treat someone unfairly? Compare it to God. He is the standard for measuring the right and wrong. Reflect: Unfortunately, many people try to measure right and wrong according to their feelings, their desires, what their friends say, what their parents say, or what they communities or cultures tolerate. What standard have you been using to figure out what's right or wrong? Your feelings? Your desires? What have your friends say? Something else? Pray: "God, I really appreciate having your Word to help me know what you value. You're the best standard of measurement there is."
