Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore, love is the fulfilling of the law.
– Romans 13:10-10
True Christians do not know vengeance. They are the children of peace. Their hearts overflow with peace. Their mouths speak peace, and they walk in the way of peace.
– Menno Simons
This weekend has been great with a lot of little lessons along the way.
Laurie and I went with friends to see the Trans Siberian Orchestra last night at the American Airlines Center – amazing show.
And I thought the message they portrayed in the first half of the show went along great with Brian’s message this morning at encounter. I hope to expound on it all later this week… but until then here’s the verses from Brian’s message:
This is how we’ve come to understand and experience love: Christ sacrificed his life for us. This is why we ought to live sacrificially for our fellow believers, and not just be out for ourselves. If you see some brother or sister in need and have the means to do something about it but turn a cold shoulder and do nothing, what happens to God’s love? It disappears. And you made it disappear. – 1 John 3:16-17
I think that’s a great summary of what Christmas should be all about. What about you? How does this impact your life or your Christmas season? Is it all about what you’re wanting to get or is it about really helping your fellow man? How are you celebrating Christmas this year?
…the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. There is no law against such things.
– Galatians 5:22-23
“You can find Calcutta anywhere in the world. You only need two eyes to see. Everywhere in the world there are people that are not loved, people that are not wanted nor desired, people that no one will help, people that are pushed away or forgotten. And this is the greatest poverty.”
– Mother Teresa
Not going to lie – this is where I believe news is going. User submitted photos, video and stories. Enter You Witness News.
A unique combination of YouTube and Flickr with user submitted news.
I make a prediction now that this is where news will be within the next 10 years at the most.
And companies like Google that can sell advertising on sites like this will be making the real money.
Kevin Sites tells you what you need to get started.
Left Behind Games, an evangelical Christian software corporation spun off the best-selling book series, has launched a social-networking site that it promotes as a safe and profanity-free alternative to services like MySpace that have largely unregulated content.

…Because its so hard for someone with bad intentions to pose as a 14 year old boy.
It’s now easier than ever to spread joy this holiday season by giving the Gift of Flickr.
Flickr has special gift cards you can purchase to give the gift of a Flickr Pro Account. The cards come with a special activation code that you can give to anyone, whether or not they have an existing Flickr account.
And in the spirit of giving, Flickr now gives unlimited uploads for pro users. WOW! The two gigabyte monthly limit is no more. At the same time, they’ve upped the limit for free account members as well, from 20MB per month up to 100MB.
