I’m sick of this.. I’m sick of saying we are Christians when we judge everyone. If we want the world to see God, we need to start acting like Christ. Last time, I checked Jesus didn’t judged the tax collector, Mary who wiped her hair on his feet, demon possessed men, the blind, cripple and the Romans who tortured him. He showed love to sinners. We are sinners and everyone around us, Christian or not are sinners. We are all the same. Sure, God lead us to Him and this doesn’t make us the exclusive. We are all the same except everyone is all going down a path. A path to sin or God and we can’t presume we know who are Christians are not.
I know the world is a dark place but treating people differently because of a sin is not right. We can show them love without supporting the sin. We can’t make them change their mind when we spit on them. Did Jesus spit on people?
I know its hard. We protest things because we don’t want the laws of sin. Then if the laws pass, we look away from the people who voted for that. We get disgusted and unkind words come out. We bet them down with fights, words, and actions. Why? Sure, we want the world to fall to its knees for Christ but to show the world, we must show them in a Christlike matter.We can’t show gnashing of teeth, disgusting looks, the laughter, words that can’t return back to our mouths.
God made us to love. God didn’t create us for war, chaos, hatred, and blood. Sure, we were commanded to battle God’s enemies in the past like the Canaanites. But doesn’t make us fit to fight the sins of this world. Sure, we are to stand up for what is right. But to start fights, no, that is not the Christian way.
Something I hate the most, is how we treat people because how they looked. Even people in the Church act like this. No, we are not an exclusive white church, excuse me? Last time, I checked. Heaven was not an exclusive white church. The church should welcome everyone. We need to show diversity in our community churches. Oh, no, we have a black, asian, or Mexican family joining our church. Lets ignore them, turn our noses the the other way. No. No. Its is not right. Selfish, much? Prideful, much?
Yes, I am no pastor. But I speaking the Truth. I’m someone who struggles with my faith in Him. Yes, I struggle with this problem too. I am saying, are we following Jesus’ example? Are we loving our enemies? Show kindness always.
Be the Christian, you want the world to see. Not the Christian, you prefer other Christians to see. You are to glorify God, not glorify man.
