Do you think lobotomies will be healed here or must wait for that great Hospital in the sky?
I jest a bit. Just a bit. Ephesians 4:2 ...forbearing one another in love.......in a word, 'putting up with one another,' like you guys do with me, and visey versey...still jesting some about digesting some.
But I'm talking about another gross problem within the body politic. Slighting, snubbing, smart mouths, rejecting, arrogant attitudes, etc., etc.,
God has the bigger picture, I get that. But are we not at all responsible for our less than 'christian' performances around others?
Are we simply robots with no responsibility or accountability at all? Damage done be hung?
I think I just answered it.
Im writing this as an open rebuke to sloppy uncaring Christians. So beware! Smile. Always a smile. I love you all to pieces!
One example to clarify my thesis: My wife went to a 'bible believing church', so called, when she was a little girl. Her family not Christians. By herself.
It was a church pot luck....good luck!?
She had brought cookies she had made. Church being all new to her she didn't know what to expect. No sign posts up ahead reading 'Next stop! The twilight zone'. I jest a little again. Maybe I shouldn't. Deadly serious situation.
Some church ladies setting up the table with food. One lady tried one of my wife's cookies ...in front of her, and said 'who made these cookies, they're horrible'? Wasn't that precious? The love of Jesus on display. Welcome to zombieville.
A little girl left. She went home crying. I could share hundreds of incidences.
She accepted Christ years later thanks be unto God. I've always maintained that God saves folks not because of, but in spite of churchianity!
Ive heard it from the pulpit many times that if you have been hurt, you need to forgive the offender and grow up!! Put your big boy or girl pants on. A sound rebuke to the crushed. Sweet! I just love church!
Yes, forgive the offender. Total agreement. But I do not hold to always putting the offended down like they are some sort of worm.
Just once someone needs to tell the offenders to quit offending! I guess that's what I'm doing now.
Hey, love you all but you who have loose tongues, you know who you are, need to lay your tongue out on the altar....all ten feet of it...and repent!.if you knowwhatimean!
Need to get unlobotomized........in a word...grow a brain with a dash of common sense, a pinch of natural affection, and a whole lotta Jesus out of the bible, off the pages, and into your heart! Be free. Be blessed!
