This Christian Resource Blog has been created by a group of friends from around the world. Our purpose is to provide links to useful resources, some commentary on topical or doctrinal issues, a place where anyone can come with questions and a means whereby we can share our faith. And above all, to grow and encourage each other. As Christians, we believe we bear God's image in this world, and seek to glorify God's name in this endeavour. Any Christian who wants to join with us is very welcome!

Who are We? 

Geoff, I loved reading your summary of your meeting last night, and hope you can do this after every meeting? Thankyou!

Recently we were discussing who we are.
You are not your name. Other people could have the very same name, and they are not you. Change your name and you are still you!

You are not your body. You may gain 100 pounds or lose 100 pounds (what are pounds anyway! ) but whatever you weigh, you are still you!

You are not what you wear. You could wear different clothes every day and you are still you! You could wear someone elses clothes.... but you would still be you!

And so, who are we exactly? I suppose we are the part that continues on after death.

And so, if that is who we are, it makes sense to spend most of our energy on caring for that part of us!

When I was thinking along these lines, it made me see freshly how useless it is trying to spend our time and energy on the "outward", but to care more faithfully for our spirit.

Actually, can anyone tell me what a spirit is, and what a soul is? I wondered if our spirit houses our soul? Whats the deal here?
