    Gotta love tony

    God created us in his image, but we have decided to return the favor,and we have created a God who is in our image. You have a decision to make. Which God, which Jesus, do you choose to follow? Do you choose to follow the Jesus described in the Bible, the Jesus who died on the cross for your sins, the Jesus who was resurrected and is here tonight? Or do you choose to took at another Jesus, a Jesus that is created by the culture and that embodies and reflects our values? What is the difference between the two? The differences are pronounced. The Jesus of the Bible differs from the Jesus of culture in what he asks of you. The biblical Jesus bids you come and give everything that you are, everything that you have to him. The biblical Jesus says, quite simply, "Read my book. Read my Scripture. Come learn of me. And then in your everyday life, be like me." Let this mind be in you which is also in Christ Jesus. To be a follower of the biblical Jesus is to do exactly what the biblical Jesus would do if the biblical Jesus were in your shoes and in your circumstances."
