It’s just not fair.
Facebook has been an interesting place lately.
It seems like it can be ok to be friends with someone until
you say something they disagree with.
My friend David Vang put a saying up on Facebook, “Yes I am
a Christian. No, I don’t think that makes me better than anyone.”
With politics, Chick-Fil-A, gay marriage and any other hot
topic subject, sharing your view might not be accepted and you could be considered
judgmental.
A couple of times I have shared on these subjects and some
of the responses I get back aren’t positive.
It happens.
What the problem is, if people don’t share your exact view, you’re
not ok with them.
I have seen where Christians have been bold with this and
say, “I am just sharing the truth of God and I don’t care what other people
think, God needs to be lifted up.”
While there is truth to this, it’s not always done in love.
I have heard people say Christians just persecute me for my
views.
Don’t forget, Christians are the number 1 persecuted group
in the world.
Just for wearing a cross or admitting you’re a Christian can
be instant cause for death.
I am extremely sorry if you feel that Christians just
persecute you.
Not all Christians are like that.
Sometimes you might miss the point of what we/Christians are
trying to say.
Sometimes we say things in the wrong way.
This happens throughout history.
I shared yesterday about Paul being beat and people beating
him without knowing why.
In Acts 21:38, we find out what they think of Paul…
“Aren’t you the Egyptian who started a revolt and led four
thousand terrorists out into the desert some time ago?”
In other words, they had no idea who Paul was and what he
represented.
Yet they still felt the needed to beat him up and they
thought he was a different person.
Paul represented Jesus, and tried to share the message of
Jesus with everyone.
Yet they thought he started a revolt and led 4,000 terrorist?
They didn’t know who Paul was.
Sometimes we don’t understand people and we are
misunderstood.
As a Christian, I am sometimes misunderstood for what I
represent.
This is who I am….
A sinner, full of mistakes, a father, husband to a (smoking hot
wife), Christian, hypocrite, depressed, sad, happy, mellow, laid-back, goofy
and not perfect.
As a Christian, I live by the Bible.
I would love to say that everyone gets to go to heaven and
no matter how good or bad you have been. I will see you in heaven.
That is me, but I have to submit to what the Bible says.
The Bible says the only way to heaven is through faith in
Jesus as your Lord and Savior.
As a Christian we follow the Bible and try to let that lead
our lives.
We are not always the best at communicating that.
According to the Bible, homosexuality is a sin, just like masturbation
with lust, looking at porn, adultery, lust and every other sexual sin.
This does not mean I don’t want to be friends or we can’t
still show love to each other.
Our first commandment is to show love to everyone, no matter
what their views are or how they vote.
If I did not hang out with people because they sinned, I
couldn’t even hang out with myself.
I am full of errors and sin.
I believe living for Jesus, is not living for my view on the
world but his.
What do you think?
Who or what do you live for?
Have a great day.
