The Diversity of Faith Glorifies God through Christ

How do we Christians view those of other denominations? How do the Christian churches of the East view those of the West, and vice versa? Why is it that the sheep presume that they can cull themselves when they do not own, but are themselves owned by the good shepherd?Jesus speaks of other herds that are not of the fold we know, and of all these herds being one flock; they are one flock because they follow one shepherd, not because they are of the same wool, or stature. Are we accepting of our shepherd’s other sheep?

Child of God; How is your Faith?

How do you choose to go about your day? Do you adhere to the scripture which says “pray without ceasing” and contemplate your prayers, wondering when God will answer, no? Then perhaps you contemplate the nature of God and Jesus Christ all the day long, still no?” Well, do you think much about them, and your faith at all? We each have a way and an intensity with which we approach our faith... how do you go about yours? Maybe you are predominately a thinker, a sturdier, a doer, or, God forbid, someone who just blows the dust from his faith on Sundays and Holy days.
