Welcome!

Hey guys!

Anyone wondering what JC stands for? If you're thinking what I'm thinking, you are correct. That's right! Jesus Christ. (Please, don't roll your eyes at me.) Yeah, I know what you're thinking: Oh, no! Not another Jesus FREAK! Well, I hate to disappoint you, but I am a believer, Christian, and even a Jesus FrEaK (If that's what you want to label me as, that's o.k. by me.) But the main reason why I've decided to start this blog, is not only to proclaim my love for Jesus, but to explain the many reasons behind my love for Him. I believe that by doing so, my audience, (you guys), may be more receptive to what I have to say about Him.

In addition to that, I would like to give you a little inside scoop on who He REALLY is. I am aware that He has been misrepresented by many. As a result, many misconceptions, preconceived notions, and stereotypical beliefs have been formed about Him. Many are skeptical. Others believe God is a superstition. And still others, believe that the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ is nothing more than a folkloric tale; told from generation to generation. But what if it's not? What if He's real and alive? Sitting at right hand of God, eager to be allowed into your heart? Eager to show you His love, compassion, mercy, and grace? Eager to bring you hope, salvation, and forgiveness? What if these are not just empty words, recited from generation to generation. What if these words are full of life-giving truth?

What then?

Think about it.

Simply Pondering Upon Scripture...

Well, as it happens, my thoughts are scattered today. As a matter of fact, I cannot find a coherent phrase to say. (Although I must say, in my defense, that it wasn't for the lack of effort; perhaps it has something to do with my lack of brain cells today.... :)) But since I have nothing worthwhile to say, I thought it would be a good idea to simply ponder upon Scripture today; meaning no long introductory speech, no mumbling, no babbling on, and on, and on... (Wait a minute. Am I contradicting myself here..?)

...Anyway, what do you say? Will you join me as I dive head-first into Scripture today? (For the sake of validating the further content of this blog post, let's just pretend you're nodding in agreement with me... Shall we?)

Let us begin:

"Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil, cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves. Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. Share with God's people who are in need. Practice hospitality."  
(Romans 12:9-13; NIV Study Bible)

"Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn. Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position. Do not be conceited." (Romans 12:14-16; NIV Study Bible)

"Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everybody. If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. Do not take revenge, my friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written: "It is mine to avenge; I will repay, says the Lord." (Romans 12:17-19)

"On the contrary: "If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head." Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good." 
(Romans 12:20-22; NIV Study Bible)

May the LORD of Hosts fill us with His Holy Spirit, and enable us to put His precious Word into practice, so that His Holy name may be glorified! (Amen! Hallelujah!) And may those who do not yet know Him, see the light of Jesus in our lives, and in our actions. May the words that we say, be words of wisdom, blessing, encouragement and healing; not of destruction, deceit, and fallacy.

May LORD HIMSELF help us! For we are utterly hopeless without Him.

In Christ's name I pray,

Amen and Amen!

All glory, honor, and praise be given to God Everlasting!
Both now, and Forever!
Amen & Amen!
