Journal #2-The Stranger


Christism

  1. The only thing that matters is glorifying, worshiping and serving the one and only God who created the Heavens and the Earth, bringing others to Christ, storing up treasures in Heaven, living as Christ lived, and having a personal relationship with the Lord. -Comes from Christianity
  2. Apart from that, everything else is meaningless. -Comes from Christianity (The Bible says everything is meaningless in Romans)
  3. Happiness depends on circumstances, but you can choose to be joyful always, when you choose Christ. -God brings eternal joy even during pain and suffering.
  4. The world should think of others higher than themselves, be slow to anger, forgive always, and say sorry when they wrong someone. I also believe that everything that comes out of your mouth should be beneficial to those who listen, building them up according to their needs and nothing vile or wicked should ever be said. -The Bible
  5. People should let go of all resentment and without retaliation. -The Bible
  6. People can change when they choose to change; not if they are forced. -This comes from experience and what i've noticed from examining peoples heart change.
  7. Everybody is equal. -Pretty cliche but definitely true.
  8. The purpose of life on Earth is to build relationships that mirror and imitate God's relationship with us. -Song of Songs gives meaning to this.
  9. The Bible is the key to life. -It's God's word and He is The Way, The Truth, and The Life.
  10. Love comes first. -"And the greatest of these is love" in 1 Corinthians
