I was tagged by David Ker on his Lingamish blog for this meme. As much as I don’t like memes, this one is at least pertinent to this blog.
Here is what’s required:
Can you write a meme in less than 140 characters, the equivalent of a Twitter ‘tweet,’ that results in a statement that every Christian could confess?
If someone sincerely confessed this creed you would:
- Consider them to be a brother or sister in Christ.
- Believe that they are true believers and inheritors of eternal life.
Here is mine:
God Most High, planned before creating all, His wisdom-Christ crucified. He chose us, believe Him, receive His Spirit, 3 in 1, we’re heirs.
Very awkward but I wanted to include the important stuff and had to remove many of the little words that would help it make more sense.
In studying 1 Corinthians 1:17-2:2 I was wondering if this is creedal in some way so I included the wisdom of Christ crucified part.
As is customary here, I will provide Scripture to back up what is said which is always a good exercise for me and essential for making any doctrinal or creedal statements.
Psalm 47:2; Acts 2:22-23; 1 Corinthians 1:30; Ephesians 1:4, Romans 5:8; John 5:24; 2 Corinthians 1:22, 2 Corinthians 5:5; John 17:22; Matthew 28:19; John 1:12, Romans 8:16-17
I do not want to inflict any specific persons by tagging them but if you would like to participate please do and let us know. It’s a good exercise. Be sure to see Lingamish’s post to look at others.
This reminds me, I’d like to do some Christian Haiku at some point.
Nice work! The terseness is very twittery.
Jeff,That is a good one. You managed to fit in a lot of the doctrine I had trouble squeezing into mine.If you write Christian Haiku, you have to post it
.
I might do my first meme and inflict it on those who have punished me.
Right now I am sick with a stinking cold.
I’m preparing for a couple of book reviews. One of the ways I’m preparing is reading the book.
