10 Things Jesus Did NOT Say

Perry Noble posted this blog entry this morning and I thought I would pass it along.

Jesus made it pretty clear in John 13:34-35 as to how the world would know we are His disciples…notice He did NOT say, “They will know you are my disciples…

#1 – By the way you forward really stupid, ridiculous emails to one another…and if you refuse to forward them to everyone you have in your contact list then you don’t love me.

#2 – By the way you yell at people who don’t know me for living as if they don’t know me.

#3 – By your T-shirts and bumper stickers!

#4 – By the music you listen to!

#5 – By the political party you support.

#6 – By the denomination you belong to.

#7 – By the way you protest.

#8 – By the products and companies you boycott.

#9 – By the way you look down on those whom you perceive aren’t as good as you.

#10 – By the way you take from one another!

Nope…John 13:34-35 is clear, Jesus didn’t mix His Words…we are called to live this out.

None of Us is as Dumb as All of Us!

Do you tweet? Are your followers smarter than those of your arch nemesis? Now you can find out.

Stupid Fight is the brainchild of one Tom Scott, who decided that you should be able to take on that uppity Neil deGrasse Tyson once and for all by comparing the intelligence of your respective Twitter followers. The program runs a pretty superficial search to find phrases that might indicate a less-than-average intelligence like "UR DA BOMB, DAWG!" or "OMG i luuuuuuuuv huffing paint!" or "Glenn Beck makes a lot of sense."

Enter your Twitter feed and a celebrity's (or just your buddy's as long as he's got 100+ followers) and find out whose friends are Smart as a Whip and whose are Dumb as a Bag of Hammers.

Big Picture: Earthquake in Yushu, China

On April 14th, residents of China's remote Yushu County, located on the Tibetan plateau, were awoken by a magnitude 6.9 earthquake. In the sparsely populated villages and the larger town of Gyegu, thousands of wood-earth buildings collapsed and many larger structured heavily damaged or destroyed. The region is difficult to reach for the response teams of the Chinese government outside aid groups - lying at an elevation of 3,700m (12,000 ft) and connected by few roads, most of which were damaged in the quake. Chinese state media now says the death toll has risen to 1,144. Rescuers continue to search for survivors as homeless residents work to recover what they can and set up shelter from the freezing overnight temperatures. (36 photos total)
