We need to change our message
We need to change our message. Not the subject of the message, who is Jesus. Not the message, which is the good news. But, the inconsistency of the people who present it. I mean, we say in one breath we want to be more like Jesus, but we don't act like we do. We care more about the " little gods" of life like our rights, our money, our bottom line. We say we care about the sanctity of life, yet in the next breath say we want to blow the Iraqis to smithereens. Pastor Will Willamon asked this question in one of his sermons : what churches do you know who had a vigil for Osama Bin Laden? For those who hate the current government structure, who is on their knees praying for it? Fasting for it? Why aren't we living out what we believe?
