Aren’t you just completely sick and tired of listening to those Christians who are always upset about something? You know who I mean, right? There are those ‘Christians’ who are always mad, always fighting somebody and always against stuff. I mean, really... it seems like some folks who claim to love Jesus and go around saying they speak for the rest of us act like there is nothing more holy than simply hating certain things. They stand up against stuff and hate stuff like it’s their dang job! These folks love nothing more than having a list of rules that they can check off so that they can categorize everyone as ‘in or out,’ ‘good or bad,’ ‘them or not them.’ Thing is, these rules always seem to be only the things these folks are good at, like not smoking, not having tattoos and not being gay. They love to keep the rules they were already naturally doing when a life with Jesus is all about supernatural change. Well guess what? Those angry-faced, argumentative, so-called Christians don’t speak for me. When Jesus Himself showed up, the super-religious folks couldn’t stand Him. They got in His face about the rules, but He said that One more important than the rules had arrived. He said people were more important than rules. He said One greater than the old system was in their midst. Yes, some things are sinful. Thanks a lot, Captain Obvious! Some things are wrong, and we all know that already; but what if loving people in the midst of their wrong is more important than just being against them for being wrong? What if hating someone for their sin is worse than the actual sin?
