Personal "Short" Manifesto

So! I did not have time to listen to an album and fill you guys in about it. However, our lovely Professor told us that we could create a personal manifesto with a word generator. I decided to take this challenge and a challenge is what it was. I'd like to apologize for the quality of this artist piece because it did not turn out how I thought. But, it will suffice for the point I am trying to get across.

I was sitting in my family bible study tonight; thoroughly enjoying because it was encouraging as everyone was voicing their struggles and exhorting one another in Christ. And I though, "why do people not love the "Christian" when they are so open like this?" And here lies the problem... Many "Christians" especially in the southern culture that we live in are the first to call someone out on "sin" instead of people as Christ did. He was the friend to tax collectors and prostitutes; many people would be horrified that now. People are vicious and instead of shedding grace on others they are quick to condemn.

I took our assignment for this morning and revamped my original self help, make yourself better creative... thing? I made into something that I have been thinking about and always think about. I will write out for you what it was supposed to say but the word generator that I plugged my phrases into made it into a confusing chaotic mess.

It's supposed to say...

Be Open to change. Live HOPING in Christ. Do all that you can for your NEIGHBOR. Don't CONDEMN others. Stop being HYPOCRITES. START being open and HONEST about your life. Your not Perfect only JESUS was. NEVER forget Christ took on DEATH for you. ALWAYS forgive for YOU have been forgiven. WELCOME grace and LAVISH it upon others. CREATE trusting relationships. Bring LIGHT into a World of DARKNESS. Learn for YOURSELF, never just BELIEVE something someone SAYS.


I really do apologize for how bad the art turned out! Until next time....
