Consider this scenario. You are driving along the freeway, and (illegally!) sending a text message with your mobile phone at the same time. Then… as these things happen, you hit the guy in front of you. Not a big smash, but a smash.
It is rush hour, and both of you pull off to the side. There’s not much tension, since you both realize that these things happen. ID numbers, phone numbers, etc. are exchanged, and an arrangement about the accident is made. You were the party at fault, and you are going to pay the other party’s insurance excess.
Your car is not insured, but luckily the damage to your car is minimal, and you are happy to keep on driving it like that. What a bad morning! You were stupid, guilty, and even reckless not to have your car insured. Thankfully, you immediately arrange insurance for it. And… life goes on. [click to continue…]

Jesus said: “The person who knows my commandments and keeps them, that’s who loves me.” Do we really know what Jesus’ commandments are? If so, do we keep them? Or do we fall hopelessly short?
By daily looking at the words of Jesus from the four gospels, and Revelation, making them our own, and applying them practically in our lives, we will have a shot at really loving Jesus. That’s what we’ll be doing together here on this blog.
But that’s not all – this is not a blog that highlights only the words of Jesus. We’ll also look at the claims Jesus made about himself – his identity, and the actions Jesus took – his life. And then we’ll also discuss the stories of Jesus. In short, we’ll be reframing Jesus for the Google world – how is Jesus relevant to people today, and how can we follow Him.
This is the first blog post of The Jesus Feed Blog. The official launch date of the website is 15 November 2008. In the meantime, I will try to post once or twice, but the main work will be behind the scenes to get everything ready for launch day.
Be sure to subscribe, and you’ll hear all about it, as it happens.
