boasting about serving
“If you want to claim credit, claim it for God.”
What you say about yourself means nothing in God’s work. It’s what God says about you that makes the difference. 2 Cor. 10:17-18 (MsgB)
in the midst of the asia tragedy, seem the us govt thinks that it should boast about how much it is doing to help the victims. now i have no doubt that “we” are sending a lot of relief supplies etc but is it necessary to have a swagger about it.
even more disappointing is that colin powell my jamaican brother was the one paraded out to do the bragging.
if all we have is from God so. we are blessed so how hard would it be to just go about our business helping others in a humble and respectful way, instead of taking the focus off the suffering of the victims to tout our contribution.

Like many other religious figures Jesus is getting a lot of press lately. The Davinci Code, the recent elections and the political voice of some religious folks has got people asking. Who is this Jesus that they follow? What was he really like? How would he respond to the actions of his current followers? Over the next several weeks Mosaic Life will dive into these questions as a community. We will explore the life and many faces of Jesus in the scriptures as we try to be more like him in our daily living. Who was he? Who did he say he was? For eight weeks we will explore images of Jesus in scripture and through the lens of our culture. We’ll explore who the images of Jesus in the scripture match up with the images of Jesus in movies, music and other and cultural media. Our explorations will include: Jesus as Lord: Jesus as the Prince of Peace: Jesus as fighter: Jesus as Healer: Jesus as Lover of our soul: Jesus as Friend: Jesus as Savior: Each week scripture texts for the bible will be available to read and explore and deepen our perspective on Jesus.
