The state of our States ??
Posted: Wed Nov 10, 2010 4:33 pmI don't know , I'm a kind of person who , sometimes , for one reason or other , a word gets spoken or a sight I encounter , yes sometimes even a smell of something sends my mind into a whirlwind thoughts for a considerable period of time , until I get to the point where I have to force myself to stop the process .
Such whirlwinds went through my head while at the market about a half hour ago , and here I am typing (forcing) my thoughts away .
To sum up the whole "theme" of the thoughts is a question I found myself asking " Have we (Christians) become a minority ??"
Scary huh ?
Ok , so here is what led to it . In a lighthearted way , Jill's boss says ," Oh don't hand him all the money , he'll end up spending it all at the bar " to which her response was , "He's been sober 11 years " , He goes , "Well , he'll go to the bar anyway and spend it on wild women " and she says "He's a Christian !!" he returns with , "Well then , all the bills will be paid huh ?"
Ok , so , are the Christians the only ones paying the bills ? or is it we pay the bills just because we are Christians ? I mean , if we weren't , we'd be spending all of our times chasing wild women in bars (which by the way , to a certain .. well ok , to the full extent was true with me) . But , most of all what got me was , the "OH , a Christian huh ?" attitude , as if we had four heads on our shoulders or something .
All this would not have been as bad , if , prior to all this , surfing the net , I came across some ancient history still being rehashed about some Christian church wanting to burn another's books , another church protesting a funeral of a soldier , and another guy saying something like "Unless I get x million dollars by Tuesday , the Lord is going to cast me in hell ! "
You know what ? If I were a non-believer , and surfing the net "Checking Christianity Out" just to see if I would fit in ? ... Whoah !
In Christ , our Lord
