Judgment Attitudes of Christians (Follow-up)
So yesterday I am in church and someone brought up this old blog post… http://www.walters-team.net/?p=84
Apparently I made some waves with it. GOOD! Seriously, I wanted to make some waves with it! The problem? Apparently, some people just did not get it. They said things like, if I was friendly, it would have been like flirting or something. Really, the only way to be friendly is to flirt? That is ridiculous. Saying hey, asking how someone is doing, small talk (weather, how school going for your family, etc) can go a long way in building bridges and making people feel included. I am sorry, there is no excuse for a cold shoulder by anyone who is a Christian. We are called to love God with all our heart and then love our neighbor. This means that we have to show the same kind of Love that Christ extended to us. You did not see him giving the cold shoulder to people as he did his journey. I am sorry, Christians today have a problem with love and kindness. You get shown more love at a restaurant by a waiter nowadays than is shown by most believers.
In order to understand this tirade, you will have to go read the original post at http://www.walters-team.net/?p=84
Peace!
