To fellow MFP Christians out there

AmberJo1984

I just wrote a blog about this yesterday. It was based off of a message board I saw about feeding yourself spiritually, as well as physically. For me, I believe God has to be part of the journey. I heard someone else say that whenever you feel hungry, go to God... and read His word. It will put your mind where it should be.

OP did not specify where the quotes should come from...

Give me a break. We're not idiots. I get the joke, but I didn't want this thread trolled and turned into ridiculing Christians.

Come on, Leah. I'm trying to get it moved to the group. I've reported it myself.

I am sure one of the members of Journey is Christian...

This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness.

I've found settingcaptivesfree.com (Lord's table) very Christ centered and helpful.

If you have a particular faith or religion, that is good. But you can survive without it.

great thread thanks.

Never give up what you want most for what you want in the moment and choose what is right over what is easy always.

Find your joy in Christ alone.

Can I get an amen? And also with you!

Can you please take this over to your own group.
Not all of us find imaginary friends so appealing and can do things of our own volition.

You came here, looking for us, not the other way around.

yes, but my thread about disliking Nickleback gets deleted because its not a thread everyone can take part in....how is this different?

I can't believe you are comparing nickleback to our Faith in Jesus Christ....

I'm pretty sure Nickleback was a gift from god.

or a punishment from Canada...

Leah? Seriously? Where the hell is the H in my name?

Just let it go, Jack. These people aren't hurting anyone by wanting to support each other in their faith. Please just be respectful until the mods move it. That would be the cool thing go do.

Have you heard of the Made to Crave book. I have not read it but I think it would be a good one to help. It is written by Lysa Terkeurst.

If you go to http://madetocrave.org/freebies/ you can actually preview the book and read the introduction. You can also sign up for a few days of Made To Crave devotional on the homepage of that website. Just thought I'd share that info.

This one always helps me:

And Saint Attila raised the Hand Grenade up on high, saying:

"O Lord, bless this thy Hand Grenade that with it thou mayest blow thine enemies to tiny bits, in thy mercy."
And the Lord did grin, and the people did feast upon the lambs and sloths and carp and anchovies and orangutans and breakfast cereals and fruit bats and large chu..

"First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin.
Then, shalt thou count to three, no more, no less.
Three shalt be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three.
Four shalt thou not count, nor either count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three.
Five is right out.
Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it."

My FAVORITE verse and best motivation: Phil 4:13 " I can do all things through Chirst who strengthens me!"
What more motivation do you need??

I absolutely LOVE this thread. Just to add:

It may sound hard-core, but I love 1 Corinthians 9:24-27 because it really taps into the weaving together or both physical and spiritual discipline. When I take on the perspective that getting healthy is not just about weighing less or feeling better but is an exercise in spiritual discipline and self-control as well, it shifts how I approach working out and eating habits. This body is temporary, I could get a 6 pack but I can't take it with me when I die lol (doesn't mean I don't want one!) however, what will last is how I treated this temple God gave me. So, think in the short-term and eternal and you see it makes sense from all angles!

1 Cor 9:24-27 says " 24 Don’t you realize that everyone who runs in a race runs to win, but only one runner gets the prize? Run like them, so that you can win. 25 Everyone who enters an athletic contest goes into strict training. They do it to win a temporary crown, but we do it to win one that will be permanent. 26 So I run—but not without a clear goal ahead of me. So I box—but not as if I were just shadow boxing. 27 Rather, I toughen my body with punches and make it my slave so that I will not be disqualified after I have spread the Good News to others."

It's amazing to me that Jesus Christ can bring a reaction out of ANYONE. Even people who claim they don't care about religion. That's God's incredible power there.

Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body.
—1 Corinthians 6:19-20 (NIV)

I find this verse pretty inspiring. I am trying to make my body the best temple I can

This is one of my favorite verses. And, one of my biggest motivations.

'Do everything without complaining or arguing, so that you may become blameless & pure, children of God without fault in a crooked & depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe.' Philippians 2:14-15

and one of my favorites :

'The God of all grace will himself (HIMSELF!) restore you and make you strong, firm, and steadfast.' (the emphasis is mine - still shocks me at times!) 1 Peter 5:10

When you call my name it's like a little prayer
I'm down on my knees, I wanna take you there
In the midnight hour I can feel your power
Just like a prayer you know I'll take you there

Or maybe it's just incredible boredom at work...



Ever think of that? Nah, I betcha didn't.

you seem to freaking out a little over a couple of non-Christians, entering the thread. It's OK!! Embrace them! Maybe they'll learn something; they aren't hurting anyone. I kinda always liked Journey myself.
