GET OVER YOURSELF.
June 23 2005
not everyone you meet will always agree with you.
this does NOT mean:
-they are stupid.
-they are ignorant.
-they are wrong.
-you are right.
-they are going to hell.
God loves every liberal democrat JUST AS MUCH as every conservative republican, every socialist, every communist, every fascist, every baptist, every catholic, every presbyterian, every muslim, every jew, and everyone else.
God loved hitler as much as He loved mother teresa.
God loves osama bin laden as much as He loves billy graham.
that's because God IS love.
not to promote any kind of relativism here. there is right and there is wrong. there is a right Way and a whole lot of wrong ways. i don't think hitler and mother teresa ended up in the same place.
but that doesn't change the love while they were here. it doesn't change the love while you are here.
so my point is this: any time you meet someone with whom you do not see eye to eye on a given issue, it is not an excuse to shake your finger in their face and scream at them that they are wrong or that they are going to hell. be open-minded enough to try to see their point. you can try to understand where they are coming from . . . i promise you, it is allowed.
name-calling has never brought anyone into the Kingdom of God.
God is Judge. you are not.
God condemns. you should not.
you are here as an example. it is your job to serve. to forgive. to love.
be nice.
i love you.

So here is that post of doom. Actually, it holds a lot of truth. Well, it is all thruth. God is Love. That's definately one thing that keeps me going. Interesting thing, that we who serve our Loving God can sometimes love less and judge more than someone who is lost. Interesting thing, indeed.
We should go do something. Give me a call.

ah... i LOVE this entry...
that is so true! As christians, we need to show our love. Yes, we do need to witness, but we don't need to have a bad attitude toward those out there that don't know God like they should. Much props... ;)
