Act Like It

The very first blog that I wrote stated that this blog might not be for everyone. If you meet every road bump in life with optimism, my wavering faith might insult you. If you attended seminary, my inability to break things down into the Greek and Hebrew might annoy you. If you stay on social media all day, my daily uploading and sharing might send you over the edge.

Guess what? I don’t care. That may sound rude…okay, it is rude. But it’s honest. If I’m a nuisance, that means this is not for you. I’m really on assignment from God. No one has told me to lay off on the blogs. No one has tried to tell me I’m not saved. But I’m kind of on one right now.

I was listening to a podcast. A woman was talking about why she decided that Christianity is fake. She didn’t believe. Her grandma dragged her to church. She saw kids in the teen group falling out in the Spirit. That didn’t jive well with her. Then the teens asked if they could pray for her. She was like whatever. They prayed for her and wouldn’t you know it….she fell out. And she said when she woke up, she was on fire for the Lord.

She was going out into the streets. With the crackheads and the unwanted folks…telling them about Jesus and the experience she had with Him. People were moved by her testimony and came to Christ. They didn’t look or smell like the other people at church. But they came.

Unfortunately people at church weren’t pleased. She wasn’t following the rules. Didn’t she know that people needed to dress a certain way to attend their church? What was up with all the tattoos? Her reply was she didn’t come to church for the rules. She came for the Acts of the apostles part of the Bible. The seeking and saving those who are lost part.

Church people who were focused on the look of the “church” ran her off. So now she’s torn. She knows her experience of God was real but now she doesn’t know what to do with it. Because obviously Christianity is fake.

This BROKE MY HEART! I’m done with being fake. Many times folks in church are rude but they don’t care. So I decided not to care today too. PEOPLE ARE DYING AND GOING TO HELL because they don’t match our ideals. That’s not why Jesus died. We need to be more passionate about reaching the lost. I’m talking about the folks in church who proclaim a Christ they seem to know nothing about AND the folks who publicly reject Him. The fact of the matter is that Satan is not playing around. We shouldn’t be playing around either. #wepreach
