No Such Thing As Retirement

Check out Alvin. He's from Phoenix, is 91 years old, and wears hearing aids. He signed up for a One Day Crash Course and then went onto the streets. He would say, "They're going by too fast--I'm missing some of them." When he gave a tract to someone, he would say, "Now be sure to read this--it's got a real good message--it asks what you think will happen when you die--it's real important." People were so endeared to him that one even gave him flowers.

Where it all began here at Way of the Pastor

January 6th, 2006 is when I took my first step into the blogging world and Way of the Pastor Blogspot was created. I posted anew on this blog some 2 1/2 years ago from my heart and my innermost passion. SO as I was looking for what to say in a new post "today" June 16th, 2008, I found myself with the same buring passion of yesterday! So in the words of that guy in the dark helmet..."the circle is now complete." My first post resurrected from the blog vault. FYI When I fisrt posted this in 2006 it got just one comment and it wasn't even about the post? Enjoy:

"It embarasses me to even ask the question: Do the majority of Christians care if people are going to hell when they die. What causes us to pass people everyday without exposing them to the disease of sin and the answer to that disease...Jesus Christ? Do we really believe that we are who we say we are when it no longer bothers us that a man or women may spend an eternity in the fires of HELL? It seems that everyone else in the Christian world is so preoccupied with "keeping the aquarium" or spinning their wheels on meaningless events and discussion. This blog is and was created to help those who consider themselves followers of Jesus Christ to step up to bat and equip ourselves with sharing the gospel message to those we come in contact with everyday. So I leave you with this...Who's job is it anyway? The pastor? The missionary? Yourself?"

A look into the book "unChristian!"

Hey for those of you who are joining our first ever "Book Blog," I wanted to just give you an excerpt from the book that I thought as well could spark some preliminary discussion before engaging in our main discussion of "unChristian." This excerpt is taken from pg. 60 of Chapter 3:

Philip Yancey, in his book What's So Amazing About Grace? makes his own candid conclusion: "Having spent time around "sinners" and also around purported saints, I have a hunch as to why Jesus spent so much time with the former group: I think he preferred their company. Becasue the sinners were honest about themselves and had so pretense, Jesus could deal with them. In contrast, the saints put on airs, judged him, and sought to catch him in a moral trap. In the end it was the saints, not the sinners, who arrested Jesus."

If only our view of outsiders were more like that of Jesus. And if only we condemned hypocrites the way he did: "They crsush people with impossible religious demands and never lift a finger to ease the burden" (Matt. 23:4).

Think of the overwhelming perception among young outsiders that we are merely hypocrites. Does your life point people to a life in Chirst that bursts with freedom to love, restoration, purity, and transparency?

Or are you burying poeple- insiders and outsiders -under the weight of a slef-righteous life? Do you lift a finger to help?

As a Christian, it's my duty to ask: are you lifting a finger now?

Which one?

New Feature "Enter the Blog Circle"

Hey guys,
Just wanted to take a sec to inform you of the newest feature over to the upper left hand corner of the blog. "Enter the Blog Circle" will be an easy access way for you to check in on each other's blogs and post comments on one anothers posts. Remember to get comments you must post often and post thought provoking/challenging/engaging/resoursful material! Or just your rambling thoughts! If you would like to "Enter" into the Blog Circle...email me at wayofthepastor@comcast.net or just post a comment a whole bunch of times and we will give you an honorary membership into the BC (blog circle). Remember also guys that this is a great way to get each other to think and provide different opinions and angles to a wide variety of topics. Use this blog as a way to grow, build, strengthen, and support one another through fellowship, accountability, and blogability....? IS that a word? One of the worst things a Christian can do is sit on the bench with no backbone and with no defense as to why they believe what they believe! As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another! Throwing another log on the blog fire!
