Here's a posting I typed up while Gorgeous and I were celebrating our anniversary far away from any Wi-Fi, up in Lake Cumberland State Park.
Don’t reject bald headed prophets: 2 Kings 1:1-2:25
Getting stoned for the Lord: Acts 13:42-14:7
We are fearfully and wonderfully made: Psalm 139:1-24
He whose tongue is deceitful falls into trouble: Proverbs 17:19-21
In Acts it’s recorded that the church was doing what’s it’s supposed to do best: telling others about Jesus. Note in verse 50 who was incited against the Christians: God-fearing people.
Many of the times I’ve seen Christians bustin’ and movin’ for the Lord wound up coming under harsh criticisms from their fellow Christians. It wasn’t the world that didn’t like Christian rock in its early days – it was Christians. Not once has someone who professes to not believe in Christ get onto me when they overheard me telling someone about Jesus. But I have been fussed at from people who claim to be Christians. Most people who complain about churches are people in other churches.
Now it’s rubber-meets-the-road time. Are we at FUMCH making more waves by trying to further the Kingdom of God, or are is most of energy directed at stifling other Christians?
