There is something I hate to see more than anything and that is judgmental Christians. I as a child of God have made a commitment to not do this. We all have our flaws. We all fall short of his grace but he loves and forgives us anyway. His forgiveness is unending, God is a loving God and the truth is so is his forgiveness. Yes, we should make an effort to do right. But we all will fall short. There is a song by a Christian rock group I love called "Who Am I' It states in so many words who am I to judge others. I am a sinner too. I have weakness, I am still growing as a child in God. I have no right to be the judge and jury of others. That is God's job. The reality is at the end of the day I have no right and none of us do to point out another's flaws or mistakes when I still am working on my own, There is not a person on the face of this earth who does not screw up and do wrong from time to time. So I ask my fellow Christians the next time you want to judge another's actions or how they live their lives, " Cast out the sty in your own eye before you judge another for the one in their eye."
That is a post that I posted on my Facebook. It is also something I feel very strong about. None of us are perfect. You as a child of God have one main job in life that really defines all the other little jobs God gives us in this life. Love everyone no matter their flaws. Even if they do not believe in God. How do you expect the non believers to turn to God if you as a Christian make Christians look like judgmental people. We are not going to lead our sisters and brothers to God by judging them and showing hate. Love draws people in not hate. We need to show them the same love and patience that God shows us. After all as a child of God we should be growing in our faith and becoming like Jesus. Jesus sat among thieves and much worse. Sometimes the best way to lead and show people how they should live is by example and also by admitting you are not perfect. That it is a learning and growing process. So many Christians in the public eye now days are not setting a good example of what God asks of us. They need to put down their judgmental mouth swords and just show love.
So maybe God is against Gay marriage. But spouting hate out towards people for any reason is not going to change them are reach them. So why not put down the hateful words and just love them as they are. God even says he will take his children as they are. Lead them and others to God by example and let God do the work of reaching them in his own way. Us as a christian family are not going to force our ways down their throats. Especially when so many of us are not even trying to live our lives truly right. I became a Christian because I saw how another found peace in it and happiness in it. I wanted the same. There was no way someone shouting hell fire in my ears would ever worked. I was hearing enough of hate in my own home that yelling at me are judging me never would of worked. Lead by example and love, not judgement of others!
