I Suck! (Do You Agree With Dale? #2)

A few days ago I posted the first episode of I Agree With Dale. The 2nd ep has landed! (I’m in this one!)

 Is skateboarding for everyone?
Did Jesus die because I suck?

Do you agree with Dale?

I agree with him. I screw up every day. I lie, steal, cheat, hate, slander, lust, cuss, gossip, and idolise. I am arrogant, disobedient, greedy, selfish and lawless. In short, I suck.

There isn’t much hope in that picture – alone, I’m stuffed. Thanks to Jesus, we can have hope.  He took our place on the cross so we can be forgiven:

 ”For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” (John 3:16)

Have you ever actually thought about what that means?

If you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. (Romans 10:9)

How good is that!

DO YOU AGREE??? Head here and say “I agree” in the comments… (or “I disagree”)

I agree with Dale. Do you?

Are floaties sometimes just not enough?
Is it all about Jesus? 

Life. The Universe. Everything. It’s all about Jesus. We were made by Jesus. We were made for Jesus. If you know Jesus you know God. He lived a perfect life. Died a terrible death. Did the smack down on death and rose again. It’s all about him. Jesus, Jesus, Jesus.

When small is big

The tablet

There are plenty of reasons to think the Old Testament is historical. Another one was added yesterday when The British Museum deciphered a 2600-year-old tablet. (worth a read)

The find is small in many ways: the tablet is just 5.5cm wide, it is just some kind of a receipt, and it names a person of small importance. That last reason is, for me, an interesting one. Quoting the article,
“The tablet names a Babylonian officer called Nebo-Sarsekim who, according to Jeremiah 39 was present in 587BC when Nebuchadnezzar “marched against Jerusalem with his whole army and laid siege to it”….
“Finding something like this tablet, where we see a person mentioned in the Bible making an everyday payment to the temple in Babylon and quoting the exact date, is quite extraordinary.” “

If the tablet provided support for an ‘important detail’, like a king or a battle, it would not rule out an author who, inventing a story, used well known facts to beef it up.
But to find a minor official and the date… thats different isn’t it?

“Dr Jursa… yesterday said the British Museum tablet was so well preserved that it took him just a couple of minutes to decipher.”

It’s not the only time archaeology has agreed with the Bible. Does it surprise you?

There is no Dawkins

I’ve got some sweet posts coming up this week, but in the meantime, here’s a wonderfully clever skit that uses Richard Dawkins arguments against God… to prove there is no Dawkins. Enjoy!
