Thoughts from a Random Mind

                  I have always found it curious how many unsaved people think they know more how a Christian should live then the Christian themselves. They point out when we cuss, when we have an alcoholic beverage, whenever we slip up somehow, all when compared to their skewed system of morality. I guess to them we’re supposed to be perfect. A “little goodie two shoes” ... someone who is excessively or even annoyingly well-behaved. Hey, guess what, we’re not all that different then the unsaved. We’re very human. We sin, albeit not continuously, and when we do we seek forgiveness from our Heavenly Father. We follow that with our desire not to repeat said offense. That’s very much different than the actions of an unregenerate soul. 

                  We’re different in the respect that we seek to imitate our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ each day. Yeah, we fail and do so often; even daily. But if a true believer in Christ, we have a dogged determination to please God with our life. The unregenerate soul simply doesn’t think like that. The unregenerate soul, in some (hopefully) isolated instances, wish Christians would just disappear, so they won’t have to hear what is being said to them. Their thirst for autonomy will condemn them in the end, for they only live for the moment and have a massive tendency to never look too far ahead, unless it’s to the next party, vacation, or planned misadventure. 

                  This post doesn’t apply to everyone, you know who you are. You identify with what I’m saying here. We are human beings who have chosen to place our faith and trust in someone different than you do. That doesn’t make us any type of threat. We aren’t dangerous, domestic terrorists who wish to take over the world by force. We are people who love God and are trying to love and be kind and merciful to those millions of people who don’t understand us. You don’t HAVE to agree with us, and because of that you certainly don’t have to try, come hell or high water, to shut us up but trying to eliminate us one at a time. Spread love, not hate and ignore those who are judgmental and in your face. That is not the Jesus Way of doing this thing called Christianity. I wish non-believing people would just look into what we believe just like you would with any other belief system. It costs nothing but could just change your life. Until next time, walk with the King & be a blessing.

In His Name & for His Glory,
