I don't mean to be irreverent with the post title or the picture :-) but we often box God to our own little understanding. If God is this, then He can't be that. If God is holy, he can't be fun. As I read my Bible, I realised that Jesus had gone to every single party that he was invited to. Jesus was a party animal! Hahaha. Don’t tell people this...[whispering]...At one wedding where he was a guest, he even changed water into booze. He did! The Bible NEVER says 'don't drink wine.' It does say "don't get drunk with wine." Unlike what has been portrayed by some people, Jesus is not a killjoy. In fact, he says that he came so that we can live life to its fullest. God doesn't hate us. He wants us to have life, even life eternal.

Excellent Post Daniel!! I LOVVVVVVVVVVVE this!!
well-said, Pastor D :)
good one ko.. even the picture! lol* such a cool expression
I second this! In fact, Mosaic (LA) always celebrates "Party Theology" together with their congregation... It's their way to encourage Christians to hang out and party MORE!!! How can we influence the world if we only stay at home or mingle with other Christians?
Lights will never fulfill its ultimate purpose when it's not exposed to darkness...
LOVE this TRUTH!
I love this! We really need to rethink the way we have traditionally portrayed Jesus. This post is a step in the right direction.
