Be the right disciple.



These folks have the right idea.


Who made the rules that some sins are better than others? These rule makers should've been more clear because some of their disciples are CONFUSED. I feel like all of the rule followers are missing the point of being Christ followers. Like, to me, its pretty obvious that if you tell someone they are going to hell, you aren't going to lead them to Heaven. They are going to avoid you. Forever. Bad approach. You are kicked off of the witnessing team until further notice. Please go home. How are we sharing the love of Christ by refusing to associate with gays or drinkers or people whose clothes don't match or democrats? I love the gays and the non-matchers. And I don't want to be President of the United States, so I'm just gonna let him do his job and you should, too. Good grief. I'm just paraphrasing here (Jesus forgive me), but I think His whole point was:

"Hey, y'all. Heaven is cool. Bring some people with you. 
P.S. They won't come if you are mean. So be sweet."

Let's get our priorities straight. Don't be a disciple of the rule-makers.
Be a disciple of Christ (=love.)

Be a disciple of love. 



I don't know when these things became ok, but they weigh heavily. So, for the rule followers who don't think they are rule followers...

Teaching your kids it is ok to disrespect our president and doing it yourself is a sin. Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. Romans 13:1

Treating people poorly because of what you think they have or don't have is a sin. The rich and the poor have a common bond, The Lord is the maker of them all. Proverbs 22:2

Hating gay people is a sin. Hating people that are a different color than you is a sin. Hating people that worship differently than you is a sin. Hating anyone is a sin. Whoever says he is in the light and hates his brother is still in darkness. 1 John 2:9

So, BOO on your sin judging. Quit it. And I love you. It's ok. Just get it together. And I will too.
