In continuing my thoughts from yesterday.....
The Pastor Phelps article really has been resonating with me. It seems like the divide between harsh, legalistic religious types and those who really have a broken heart over the lost is getting bigger all the time. Some people get sucked into debating, trying to answer these people.
I have learned you never can satisfy a religious spirit. I think that's why Jesus just pretty much ripped them.
They did end up crucifying him, of course......
It all reminds me of a little English girl who was by her bedside with her grand-dad, kneeling, ready to pray. Her grandfather asked her what she would like to pray for. She replied, "I want to pray for the bad people." She then proceeded to pray.....
"Dear God, please make the bad people good......and dear God, ...while you're at it, please make the good people nice."
Out of the mouth of a child, eh...?
Have a good Thursday,
PB
