The Good Samaratan

Hey thanks to everyone that read or responded, its been a great blessing.

so i read the passage about the good samaratan and it really reminded me of alot of things. The people who passed by the guy who was beat were priests and people who were probably headed towards church ( from what i learned from a retreat. )  This is significant because these people are supposidly “holy” compared to a mere ” samaratan ” I remember when i first read this seriously i thought the passage was speaking to me about going out and helping those in need. I went out to do street ministry a little after i saw this passage but that QUICKLY became the past. I stopped because of fear and probably lack of knowledge. I tried to be a more christian influence to my friends by not cussing or doing bad things but my anger would come out very easily on the courts ( basketball courts =) ) I tried many times to put what i learned from this passge to use but i feel like i always messed up somehow. God is calling us to be not only missionaries everywhere we are but to be that lit city on the hill. I want to be the physical example of jesus christ to my friends in this world, but i always give into my anger or my lazyness. I realized that i always complained about sunday christians when i was one myself. I said i believed in Christ with my Christian friends but when i was out in the world i became someone totally different. I was wondering how are you guys examples of christ to your friends and how do you minister to those who dont know about Christ. Like how did god move you to minister to people DAILY and how did you keep with it.

I was invited to go to a friends retreat and i was reluctant at first because i dont know that many people at this church. I said maybe and was ready to say no when i read this passage. What will i do when god presents a guy who needs my help and im unable to.I feel like this retreat would really help equip me for these situations and hopefully i can learn to be a better example of Jesus Christ.

Christianity Today

I’m currently a 3rd year college student attending UCR. Ive been ” Christian ” for maybe 5 to 6 years. Being in college has made me question myself and my faith. I feel like I started to understand what it means to be a follower of Christ but at the same time I feel like ive realized how hard it is to follow this path. Ive also realized that some of the ideals of Christianity i believed in before, are seemingly not the same as Christ’s.  Basically im making this blog so I can post things that I learn or things that I believe in. I would love any response and opinions ( as long as they are reasonable and not just there to offend) because it would help me understand what christianity really is.

Todays Topic ” Is It Enough”

Something thats been on my mind recently is wheter what we do as Christians is enough. Is the 10% we give in tithes or the little bit of community service we do really what Jesus wants us to do? In Matthew 19 in the parable of the Rich Young man, we find out that Jesus basically tells as person what he has to do to get into heaven and that was to sell all his belongings. When he heard this he walked away sad because he was wealthy. When i read this verse i saw that Jesus didnt ask him to give 10% but all that he owned. I know its not reasonable to ask everyone to give up all that they own, but the questions is CAN you give it up if jesus is calling. Jesus didnt ask the guy to give up 99% but all of it. I feel like in todays world, we donate 10-20 dollars a month ( if even ) to a organization and then we spend 300 dollars on a gaming system. Im not trying to say that if you bought a gaming system that you are wrong ( shoot i have a 500 dollar tv) but im starting to feel like it is. If you think about it seriously, 300 or 500 dollars can literally save a persons life. So my question is basically what is enough, what amount is god calling us to actually give? All?
