Another great quote

"Our lives, in fact, are a brief pilgrimage between two moments of nakedness so we should travel light and live simply."

2 Quick thoughts

1) I think it a grave disservice to assume that someone is a Christ follower. They could live the most moral life in our eyes but never have heard the good news of the Gospel. To assume such things is to not care about someones eternity.
"I never assume anyone I meet is a christian. It forces me to share the Gospel. If you do share and they are then you rejoice. If you do share and they aren't then you are helping fulfill the great commision."
A wise pastor and friend told me that once.

2) Political correctness in the church will destroy her.

Wise Words.

"I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ."

~Mahatma Gandhi

As a Christian, I would have to agree. No it isn't fair to lump the entire group of Christians into this. There are Christians across the world that are doing great things. Things that Jesus himself said we should do. But as a whole I think 80-85% of Christians go to church on Sunday, maybe attend a mid week bible study, and then repeat. Not that they are living immorally throughout the week. But how are we loving our neighbor as ourselves? How are we using our talents to meet the needs of those around us? I'm battling this.

Father forgive me,
