Rev. David Stutz's Blog (18)

      Fighting in Egypt, Iraq, and many other places around this globe seems to be the bulk of todays headline. Nothing good is part of our daily media exposure. I have to be frank with you when I say I'm torn from the masses of people that claim to be Christian's, but make non-Christ-like decisions related to our Government, Local authorities, or even countries in the west have banned the practice of Christianity.

      What would it be like if we loved our neighbor as Christ loved…

Through my many studies, I have come to a most disturbing understanding of today's church.  When I say church, I'm refering to the Christian church. It's clear to me that the church is focused on increasing the number of people coming through the font door, rather than building spiritual growth within the church. I call this the "Olsteen" syndrome. Today's evangelist's focus their attention on cultural problems within the congregation, what I mean is that instead of preaching the Word, they…

From the last time I was on "All About God" I have since enrolled in college at Liberty University, working on my BA Religion w/ minor in church ministry. I have a lot to be thankful for and love life to its fullest.

I was wondering if I may get some input from all of you about The Apostles' Creed.

Some people I speek with about this subject, believe that this Creed only pertains to the Catholic Faith.



"I believe in the Holy Spirit , The Holy Catholic church"



I've been thinking about this for awhile and Im not sure thats right.

The Catholic faith is a denomination on the Christian religion. We that study Theology understand that. The time in biblical history that we see The… Continue

I just bought a new book by Gregory A. Boyd titled "The Myth of a Christian Nation". Gregory is well educated and has written many books on the subjects of Christ and Theology.

My problem with this book is this:

1. The book has a total of 9 chapters 189 pages total. So for the most part it is a small book.



2. The subject of this book is to explain to all of us why he thinks politics and the Church shouldn't be mixed. As in the church should not indorse any political party.… Continue

I received a new book in the mail yesterday. Some time ago I stubbled upon a website that caught my attention. A Lutheran paster was imprisoned for his Faith, and was beaten, starved, and most other unheard of things.
Well, to make along story short, after his release he wrote this book called "Torture for Christ" By Richard Wurmbrand.
Started the first chapter late last night and it's amazing!
I wish all of you have the chance to see this wonderful book.
God bless.....

The weather is nice, Feel great but have set things aside that I shouldn't. Going to work on that.

Today's sermon was everything but boring! Paster Ken preached form the inside of a small boat!

The hole point he was giving use went back to the disciple in the middle of The Sea of Galilee, Where Jesus asked Peter to trust him and step out of the boat. Peter was the only one to put his trust in the Lord.

The point was, A great manny of us say we are followers of Christ but yet we wont leave our comfort zone (our boat) We should surrender ourself to the Lord for he will comfort… Continue

I attended a wonderful wedding yesterday. Two members of my motorcycle club got married and asked if I would do the video and photo coverage for them. Was a great day and all went very well.
One thing about me being an ex-Navy photographer, I still get to do a lot of things like this.
I wish them the best of luck and It sure turned my Saturday into a wonderful day.

Paul wrote "Imitate me, for I imitate Christ"
That's how I intend to live the rest of my life......

It's another Monday. The greatest holiday of the year has past us by for another year.....That's ok, I woke this morning feeling like it was still Easter Sunday. My heart doesn't want to give up the day.
I'm going to spend the rest of the year as if everyday is Easter Sunday. What a great feeling......
God bless

What a wonderful Easter. First I went to church with my sister and her family. I always set in the front row and because of that, they call me "Front Row Dave!" I'm ok with that.
After church we had a wonderful dinner at my mothers. I really love the company and spending time with love ones.
This has been a great Easter Sunday.
I hope everyone had as nice of a holiday as I.
May God be with all.....

I bought two new books today.
1. The Gospel of Jesus by James Robinson.

2. Great Spirits 1000-2000
The fifty-two Christians who most influenced their Millennium

I cant wait to start reading them. They will make a fine addition to the book shelve.

The most important day of the year for me. The rising of our Christ Jesus. He gave us more than we can imagine.
Salvation.....

God bless all and I hope everyone has a nice, heart touching Easter Sunday.

I'm at church for the "Good Friday" services.
Mo place I'd rather be :-)

Only through the GRACE AND POWER OF GOD do I have the ability to wake each day with the love and compassion for life that only he could give.
I'm so thankful for what our Lord Jesus Christ has given us.......

My first posting. It's great to find a social networking site like this.
I relay hope I can find some friends with the same drive for becoming a disciple of Christ like myself.
