What The Heck Are You Freakin Looking At?

Most times in our churches today we have this view, "What is he or she doing here, they live like hell?". The church and Christians look at people, that look and act like the world, as an alien. We don't even give them a chance. We write them off quicker than we care to find out their name.

I am so sick of Christians acting this way towards people. We have a responsibility to the world, to show them Christ, at any cost. I am tired of people thinking that the church will not accept me because: I am gay, I am sexually active and not married, I am addicted to drugs, I am a liar, I am an alcoholic, I have children out of wedlock! Aren't these the people we are trying to reach and show the redemptive love of Christ?

I think Christians need to take a step back and understand what their purpose is, and by the way, it is loving people. I think if Christ was physically in our churches today, He would be quick to find out the name of that one that walks in the church doors, who lives like hell, and be a friend to that hurting person. Being a christian is not permission to live above anyone, but to understand that the world is whom Christ came to lift up out of a life of hopelessness.

What the heck are you freakin looking at?

The Remembrance of Greatness

As I write this blog, it is the first Wednesday night service in Jacksonville that I have missed. And it is starting now! And all I can say is, "Thank You God !" I am truly thankful and humbled for the opportunity I had to serve the youth at PL. I am sitting here in a puddle of my own tears knowing the "Greatness" that is going to arise from the students and adults in the youth.

I am confident in who God is and am confident in the character of the people I have met at PL, that they are going to turn the world upside for Christ. It is not a wonder to me that there is Legendary things happening right now in that trailer.

The question I pose to you is this; Are you involved in something that is producing greatness? I can search deep in my soul and know that God put me at PL, when He did to be apart of Greatness. Thank You Promise Land! Keep doing the dang thing!

Where is you Remembrance of Greatness?
