This just in; the real Jesus has opened a twitter account. His first five tweets…
@WomanatWell “Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”
@ManontheRoad “”Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head.”
@FishingSimon “”Come, follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.”
@FastingPharisee “No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment, for the patch will pull away from the garment, making the tear worse.”
@TaxingTree “Today salvation has come to this house, because this man, too, is a son of Abraham. For the Son of Man came to seek and to save what was lost.”
No sinners prayer, no repent, no you’re a sinner????? I’m not to sure that this Jesus is the real Jesus.

Not saying that he won’t tweet about those other things. Just saying that he didn’t tweet it to everyone.
funny thing is, dan allender called for people to repent… and that was still not enough!
Okay- tell me at what time stamp he did it do I can listen to the five sentences before hand and afterwards. I listened and I didn’t hear it.
BTW, repentance isn’t enough. You have to do more than just change your mind about and turn from sin. You must place your trust in Christ- repentance unto salvation, unto God.
#6 – The repentance you reference is not about sin, it’s changing your mind about Jesus, which by direct implication means you change your mind about yourself. The equation goes something like this:
You realize by the Spirit’s illumination that Jesus is the Son of God and has paid for your forgivenss, and realizing that, you trust Him as your Savior because you realize you need saving.
That is Biblical, salvation repentance.
very cute. – (though your refusal to provide the context of that alleged wright quote, and the context of the page you say it is on – lead me to believe it was not an actual quote, but just an interpretation/paraphrase of yours.)
anyway… i’m not sure why i even posted this comment here – i must have meant it for other thread.
allender’s call for repentance does not count anyway – he was calling for believers to repent of sin… it was not a call for sinners to repent and become believers.
so, in your world, the sermon was still a waste of time.
he uses the actual word for the first time at 33:32. but you should probably start at 30:00 to get the entire context.
but this is just the point where he uses the actual words “repent” and “confess” – those twin themes pretty much permeate the entire message.
@christians: “And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins.”
@anyonewhowilllisten: 23″Therefore, if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you, 24leave your gift there in front of the altar. First go and be reconciled to your brother; then come and offer your gift.
#10 – Both those commandments are predicated upon faith in Jesus Christ. The power to forgive comes directly from faith in Jesus Christ. And I do not just mean being saved, I mean an active and deep “now” faith in Christ.
And your point?
It’s the deafening silence that resounds most eloquently to me.
