What Would Jesus Do? Do You Really Want to Know?

Once upon a time, a mother made her son a wristband. On it was written: WWJD? The phrase “What would Jesus do?” (often abbreviated to WWJD) became popular in the United States in the 1990s and as a personal motto for adherents of Evangelical Christianity who used the phrase as a reminder of their belief in a moral imperative to act in a manner that would demonstrate the love of Jesus through the actions of the adherents.

The WWJD movement started in 1989 when the youth group at Calvary Reformed Church in Holland, Michigan, studied Charles Sheldon’s 1896 novel, In His Steps.

But the message of wwjd should not be taken for granted due to overexposure. As simple as it seems, sometimes the question—What would Jesus do?—still leaves people wondering. However, its not hard when ones considers that Jesus said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. #Love

Little Girl Lost | Our Souls Purpose.

There once was a little girl, she was sweet and loving, the way a child is. She had blonde hair and was ever so tiny. She loved everyone she knew, she looked at the world through eyes that had not been wounded by this world. Now the teenager turns into a young woman, wife, and mother. She feels the light but she doesn’t live in the light… What would Jesus do?

Mandatory Prayer to Promote Wellness.

United States Marine Corps recruits take a moment for mandatory prayer before lights out at 9:00 P.M. in Parris Island, South Carolina, January 6, 2005. Recruits go through a twelve week training program where the objective is to instill self-discipline and confidence, high moral standards, warrior spirit, basic military knowledge and individual skills, physical fitness and wellness as a way of life, respect and love of Country and Corps. Now one might be arrested for leading soldiers into prayer, however, What would Jesus do?

How God’s Broken Through My Walls This Year Has Been All About Learning About the Character of God, and Also About the Character of Me.

Everyone has thinking patterns and world views that need adjusting; the biggest one for me this…What would Jesus do?

What Would Jesus Do? Remember the Less Fortunate This Christmas, ‘Come, You Who Are Blessed by My Father, Inherit the Kingdom Prepared for You from the Creation of the World. For I Was Hungry, and You Fed Me. I Was Thirsty, and You Gave Me a Drink. I Was a Stran.

Beyond the fad

“What would Jesus do?” is an irrelevant question for many people because they don’t know who Jesus is. Before we can ask the question “What would Jesus do?” we must ask ourselves whether we know Jesus. Knowing Jesus begins with reading about His life, teachings and claims in the Bible.

So what would Jesus do? He would seek the Father for the strength and wisdom to embrace, restore, confront, teach, serve, and equip the people around him.

These phrase should drive us back to the gospels to take a fresh look at how Jesus lived. The fad phase of WWJD may be over, but we need to hold on to the phrase even whiles posting images on Godinterest and keep asking ourselves—What would Jesus do? It’s a great question. But remember: If you’re not sure what Jesus actually did in his life, then you’re just guessing at what he might do in yours.

Who’s In Charge of the Christian Blogosphere?

in 2017 Christian Today Blogger asked “Who’s In Charge of the Christian Blogosphere?”

The rise of the blogosphere in the early 2000s yielded the genre of the “spiritual blogger.” From the comfort of their living rooms, lay people suddenly became household names, wielding influence over tens of thousands of followers. A new kind of Christian celebrity—and authority—was born: the speaker and author who comes to us (often virtually) as a seemingly autonomous voice, disembedded from any larger institution or ecclesial structure.

Godinterest has given occasion to a whole new set of conversations about Christianity in public life and represents a tremendous opportunity for publication, discussion, cross-fertilization, and critique of a kind never seen before. In principle, at least, the Internet offers an opportunity to break down old barriers and engender new communities.

“The Purpose at Hand Is to Foster a More Self-Reflective, Collaborative, and Mutually-Aware Christian Blogosphere.”

Savvy Godinterest users have available to them the means to develop a quite sophisticated picture of their readership. So what is missing, perhaps the following?

“The Spiritual Wisdom and Religious Insights of the Bloggers That Currently Use Godinterest Continues to Provide the Life’s Blood of the Site.”

It should be evident by now that the Christian blogosphere is no unified thing, However, with its ease of access, the Godinterest certainly offers the means for under-represented voices to find a public voice. With greater flexibility, Godinterest offers the opportunity for a renaissance in serious Christian social media coverage.

Is there really a Christian Blogosphere?

The very idea of a Chrsitian blogosphere – a network of blogs devoted to discussing the place of Christianity in public life – is in essence what Godinterest is becoming.

The community at Godinterest represents the possibility of a common conversation among a diverse set of voices. Godinterest allows for far more cross-fertilization among far-flung communities than currently exists, and a wider variety of Christian bloggers will no doubt benefit from being in closer proximity to one another which will inadvertently facilitate interaction.

Academics Have Taken to Godinterest Like Ducks to Water

Once upon a time, a blogger was defined as someone who published personal musings on an online journal.

Today, blogging is a major component of content marketing — a practice 88 percent of B2B marketers now leverage to raise brand awareness and promote products. In an astounding feat of bits and bytes, the internet buzzes with activity, teeming with thousands of terabytes of digitized information flowing every minute.

The Stature of Web Authoring Is Growing Both Personally and Professionally. WordPress Is Great, But It’s Not Always The Best Solution!

With that being said, even though WordPress is one of the most beloved website building systems out there and powers 25% of the internet, that doesn’t mean it’s the best choice for everyone in the world who wants to publish articles online.

Godinterest,com has given occasion to a whole new set of conversations about religion in public life. Godinterest represents a tremendous opportunity for publication, discussion, cross-fertilization, and critique of a kind never seen before. In principle, at least, the Internet offers an opportunity to break down old barriers and engender new communities.

The purpose at hand is to foster a more self-reflective, collaborative, and mutually-aware blogosphere and community.

Why bother?

The growing influence of blogs is indisputable. The mainstream press is looking more like the blogosphere. Old-guard newspapers and magazines now host blogs by reporters and columnists on their websites. Because of their ease of publication and use, blogs have changed the shape of public discourse in society as a whole and around religious questions in particular. Godinterest is a powerful and flexible medium, one uniquely suited to providing the space for vibrant, diverse, and productive discussions about religion around the blog posts its users create.

“Academics, especially in the arts and humanities, have taken to Godinterest like ducks to water.”

Social Media Envy!

Anyone currently active on social media knows that Godinterest is slowly developing into an incredible phenomena. Idea sharing and photo sharing combined in the ultimate setting of graphic after graphic, interests and likes can be decided and shared in two clicks or less. There hasn’t been a day before now where the saying “A picture is worth a thousand words” is more true.

Can we just tell you that there are a ton of posts on Godinterest that fall under the categories listed above? And that is why people love it! But we do need to check ourselves from time to time as there is a danger that we just might be forming the wrong thought pattern about certain things, thereby transforming them into sin.

“If You Are a Christian Who Seeks God with Your Whole Heart, You Are a Target.”

Instead of playing the comparing game on social media, what if we stick to the guideline of God’s Word? Let’s seek recipes, means of hospitality, and all sorts of ideas and content, yet be sure that we do so without envy and with our identity firmly planted in #Christ.

“We Live in a Time of Great Stress, When Trials Can Come upon Us Suddenly and Leave Us Overwhelmed, Weary and Confused.”

Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in #Christ Jesus – Philippians 2:4

Has Facebook, Twitter or other social media ever made you feel inadequate or envious? We would love to read your thoughts about this topic!

We’ve included ten of the most voted photos posted on#Godinterest so far in 2015.

“I’m Not Alone. God Is Always with Me… We Are at War! Satan the Devil Hates Us and Wants to Destroy Us. We Must Be Aware of Our Enemy’s Weapons and Tactics, Because Our Spiritual Life Depends on It.”

“Don’t Shine SO OTHERS CAN SEE YOU, SHINE SO THAT Through YOU, OTHER CAN SEE Him… One of Satan’s Strongest Weapons Is Pride. Pride Is Always a Danger, Especially When Things Are Going Well, Such as in Times of Peace and Prosperity (Deuteronomy 8:11-17)”

“Make the Water Stop? Or Thank You, Lord for Loving Me, I Welcome You in My Heart.”

“I Want to Be Do Full of #Christ That If a Mosquito Bites Me It Flies Away Singing There Is Power in the Blood!”

“Nothing Is More Impressive That a Person Who Is Secure in the Unique Way God Made Her.”

Godinterest continues to withstand attacks by hackers and censors as the media outlet expands. A hacking attack which took place over the weekend inflicted superficial damage which was quickly repaired. Hackers remain unable to penetrate the site’s security, but the unwanted attention shows that the evil is hard at work.

Is Organ Donation A Sin? Should Christians Donate Their Organs?

Organ donation is the donation of biological tissue or an organ of the human body, from a living or dead person to a living recipient in need of a transplantation.

General misconceptions connected to Christianity and organ donation have made many people think that the act is prohibited by their religion when in reality, there little or no rules that actually prevent people from receiving blood transfusions or organ transplants.

Some religious denominations are against organ donation, but major religions by and large allow the act and even encourage it. Some profess that the teachings of Christianity and organ donation go hand in hand. However, within each religion there are different schools of thought, which means that views differ.

Heart and Lung Transplant Success After 2.5 Years.

It’s safe to say that most Anglican, Protestant and Catholic scholars agree that the organ donation is a beautiful selfless act.

Protestant denominations have given their seal of approval to organ donations. The Lutheran Church refereed to the act as manifestation of sacrificial love for people who are in need. The Presbyterian Church has encouraged its members to have Universal Donor Cards. The Seventh Day Adventist Church has a pediatric heart transplantation floor in its California hospital. Even the Amish, who have been seen to generally avoid modern technology, allow organ donation in order to help others.

The Church of England has declared that it is the duty of a Christian to donate one’s organs. But the church stated that there are different views on whether an opt-in system was proper.

We believe that Christianity and organ donation are entwined with each other as Christians we are taught to love our neighbours.

The Merit of Self-Sacrifice #Godinterest #Love #Jesus #Christian.

The Catholic Church has voiced out its support to donation. The late Pope John Paul II praised the work of transplant surgeons during an international conference in 2000, but he asked them to avoid transplants with stem cells. Former Pope Benedict XVI has announced that he is an organ donor.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and the Quakers do not object to the practice and leave it up to their members if they want to put up their organs for donation or have transplants.

Love one another is the most basic teaching of Christianity and we believe organ donation is one example of how you can apply it to your life.

Remember there is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. (John 15:13) Being an organ donor is the Christian way of showing you care for your neighbors.

Most would agree that nothing’ could possibly be worse than when a chance to donate an organ is missed because of a false belief that donation is prohibited.

Jesus Christ the Original Blood Donor.

Ever Thought of Jesus as a Blood Donor? For Ephesians 1.7 States “In Him We Have Redemption Through His Blood, the Forgiveness of Our Trespasses, According to the Riches of His Grace. Christians should be encouraged to help others in need and look upon organ donation as an act of love, and a way of following Jesus’ example.

Sacrifice and Helping Others Are Key Themes Across All Forms of Christianity, and Therefore a Decision to Donate Organs Is Seen as a Positive Thing.

Is organ donation prohibited by your religion? Do you agree with organ donation?
