Why Christians bother me!

I am tired of the Christian populous behaving in a non-Christian manner. One example is the critics of Joel Osteen and their representations that he is a false profit or false teacher. The message he teaches is one of hope and prosperity in the relationship with God and Jesus. Some critics claim that because he lacks seminary instruction he does not have a place teaching or relying on a "calling" from God. I look at other influential teachers that do not have the so called seminary teaching, for one the Apostle Paul, another Charles Finney (I am not as sure of this one, but I could not find any formal training). The calling upon an individual to serve the Kingdom of God does not hinge upon a formal training in seminary. All that such trite comments do to the relationship of Christians is to create strife and discontent. Such comments are made out of jealousy and not divine understanding. So the man whose name I no longer remember needs to look at himself in the mirror and before God and determine his true objective and if there is a calling upon his life or if he is a false profit sowing the seed of strife and discontent.

More of the Packers

It was a good day yesterday for the Pack. 7-1 is not quite a good as 8-0 but it is acceptable. Ellen and I spent the weekend doing very little. On Saturday I played with Sixth Ward and won the Spokane Stake Football Tournament. We had the intention of going to Braden's blessing on Sunday, but fell ill, and spent the day doing nothing. I think I will do some work now.
