A friend of mine on Facebook posted today the above title. He talked about an instance he had seen where well-dressed people walked into a downtown church after they parked their expensive cars. As they walked in, they passed a homeless woman.
How many of them stopped to check on her? How many of them even “saw” her? How many understand that within a couple of months of bad luck, they could be joining her on the sidewalk?
This is the problem I see, not only in the South, but in America. We tout ourselves as a Christian nation. Who defines that? Do we really look like that from other countries? How about Uganda where American ministers went over and created a stir among Ugandans about LGBT people? Is that “Christian”?
How about the American citizens that are Jewish? Or Buddhists? Are they not part of the Christian nation called America?
Why is it okay in the South for a white man to marry an Asian woman, but it’s not okay for a white woman to marry a black man? Where’s the “Christian” acceptance in that?
These are all questions that I ponder. What WOULD Jesus do if he came back to live among us? Would he be accepted as he should be, or would be he shunned by the “religious” community because he didn’t fit into the “acceptable mold” of their ideals and traditions? Seems like I’ve heard that story before……
