It's been awhile since I blogged. There have been a number of times that I have sat down to write and then just go blank, writer's block, I guess!
But, today I have plenty to say!
Yesterday, Ed came home and told me about a person confronting him about, our church's ad in the newspaper. This person wanted to know, "What did we think we were doing down at that church?" "That our ad in the paper was promoting teenage sex!"
You can see the ad in The NortheastGeorgian Newspaper. It has 3 teenage guys with 3 teenage girls up on their shoulders, joking around having a good time. NOTHING, I REPEAT, NOTHING SEXUAL ABOUT IT!!!
I don't know about you, but that just burns me up! This man is a self-proclaimed Christian, whose business practices are hardly biblical ! How dare he be so pious! I want to go to him and ask, "How many people have you reached with the gospel of Jesus Christ this week or this year even"! I'm about tired of constantly having to defend ourselves to these ritualistic, puffed up pharisees. Guess what, pharisee? You and others like you, have just signed the death warrant, of so many, unchurched souls, by being unwilling to get off of your throne and minister to people right where they are. You know most unchurched people are not walking around with a three piece suit on, a bible tucked under the arm and their nose straight up in the air!
What with Easter on the way, this whole thing makes me think about, how pious and judgemental the Jews and the Sanhedrin was about Jesus! You know, Jesus hung out with some of the most unsavory people, a tax collector, a prostitute, a thief..............etc. I bet that bunch, just like today's bunch of self-righteous zealots claimed Jesus was promoting SEX with teens and stealing from the poor. WASN'T IT ENOUGH TO CRUCIFY HIM ONCE! WE CRUCIFY HIM AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN, EVERY TIME, WE'RE TO RIGHTEOUS, TO MEET PEOPLE, WHERE THEY ARE WITH THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST!
Ok, enough said! I've vented, now! I'll catch you up later with what all is happening here in riaroo land.
Later!
