My God is not Dead!!! He is Truly Alive!!!


Its Been a Few weeks or rather a month since ive seen the movie Gods Not Dead , in theaters and 
It really opened my eyes . At the same time it also made me a bit upset , I was always taught the share the word of God with those I meet , no matter what and through different ways . But in someways the movie showed the stereotypical christian. Turning away from those deemed sinners and not trying to share the word at all. But at the same time it showed that we all deal with troubles in our life , and sometimes we feel as if God is not there but he truly is . He may not be as real as you and me but he is there for us , watching us , upset sometimes , but never hating his followers. He never hates us no matter what , I myself have made mistakes with my significant other and we have admitted jumping into things way to quickly.Not thinking about the way I grew up , and wanting to save myself for marriage . Yes I do admit my fault in what I did , I am not a perfect person neither is anyone on this planet. We all have our faults and our problems we deal with them each day. I just hate the fact that we sit there and try to act like everything is fine , when its not we dont need to act perfect . I myself shine in my un-perfectness, while thinking about what I did doesn't stop me from sharing the word or atleast telling or saying God Bless you or smiling or being kind. I love these lyrics and youtube Video From Jefferson B. Im a huge Fan and Going to start reading his book since now I have the time to school was my major importance. These words speak truth.. no matter what.

"What if I told you, Jesus came to abolish religion?
What if I told you getting you to vote republican, really wasn’t his mission?
Because republican doesn’t automatically mean Christian,
And just because you call some people blind, doesn’t automatically give you vision.
If religion is so great, why has it started so many wars?
Why does it build huge churches, but fails to feed the poor?
Tells single moms God doesn’t love them if they’ve ever been divorced
Yet God in the Old Testament actually calls the religious people whores
Religion preaches grace, but another thing they practice,
Tend to ridicule Gods people, they did it to John the Baptist,
Cant fix their problems, so they try to mask it,
Not realizing that’s just like sprayin perfume on a casket
Because the problem with religion is that it never gets to the core,
It’s just behavior modification, like a long list of chores.
Let’s dress up the outside, make things look nice and neat,
Its funny that’s what they do to mummies, while the corpse rots underneath,
Now I ain’t judging I’m just saying be careful of putting on a fake look,
Because there’s a problem if people only know that you’re a Christian by that little section on your facebook
In every other aspect of life you know that logics unworthy
Its like saying you play for the lakers just because you bought a jersey
But see I played this game too; no one seemed to be on to me,
I was acting like church kid, while addicted to pornography.
I’d go to church on Sunday, but on saturday getting faded,
Acting as if I was simply created to have sex and get wasted.
Spend my whole life putting on this façade of neatness,
But now that I know Jesus, I boast in my weakness.
If grace is water, then the church should be an ocean,
Cuz its not a museum for good people, it’s a hospital for the broken
I no longer have to hide my failures I don’t have to hide my sin,
Because my salvation doesn’t depend on me, it depends on him.
because when I was Gods enemy and certainly not a fan,
God looked down on me and said, “I want that man!”
Which is so different from religious people, and why Jesus called em fools
Don’t you see hes so much better than just following some rules?
Now let me clarify, I love the church, I love the bible, and I believe in sin
But my question, is if Jesus were here today, would your church let Him in?
Remember He was called a drunkard and a glutton by  “religious men”
The Son of God not supported self-righteousness, not now, not then.

Now back to the topic, one thing I think is vital to mention,
How Jesus and religion are on opposite spectrums,
One is the work of God one is a man made invention,
One is the cure and one is the infection.
Because Religion says do, Jesus says done.
Religion says slave, Jesus says son,
Religion puts you in shackles but Jesus sets you free.
Religion makes you blind, but Jesus lets you see.

This is what makes religion and Jesus two different clans,
Religion is man searching for God, but Christianity is God searching for man.
Which is why salvation is freely mine, forgiveness is my own,
Not based on my efforts, but Christ’s obedience alone.
Because he took the crown of thorns, and blood that dripped down his face
He took what we all deserved, that’s why we call it grace.
While being murdered he yelled “father forgive them, they know not what they do”,
Because when he was dangling on that cross, he was thinking of you
He paid for all your sin, and then buried it in the tomb,
Which is why im kneeling at the cross now saying come on there’s room
So know I hate religion, in fact I literally resent it,
Because when Jesus cried It is finished, I believe He meant it.


"Cant fix their problems, so they try to mask it,
Not realizing that’s just like sprayin perfume on a casket"

This is what I see almost every day , Those people who think they did not make mistakes at one point in their life and they mask them. I once was apart of a congregation that had a huge problem of this , gossip ran rapid throughout the Church. I was a victim of gossip , if I took one step out of line I was treated unfairly and shunned . I do have to say , in certain "groups" I am still shunned today .. those who know what ive been through and what I have struggled with . They "shun" me , those who use to say hello or ask how my day was pass with a small smile and try to avoid  me . Why must we all pretend that we are perfect? who says that you are? I am still the same person I was and will always be. I hate how I am treated  by those I once considered my friends. I have not  been to church since , I feel like I am in a room with strangers who dont wish to talk to me but about me and point and stare. Will I ever go back sometime? yes I will , to the same church? No probably not , My feelings and my Emotional State sometimes I cannot handle that. In part , I know That God is not Dead I see many examples of his kindness almost everyday I can name a few. I still im a christian and Always will be I will love those who shun me and ignore me. But the Central message remains is God is not Dead!   :D
Have a Wonderful Day.
