It's not how any diety would have us relate to the world.<br /><br />Anyway, recently I went back over to the Meditation Mount and was reminded of this one spiritual value: "relate to every indidivual remembering their humanity." Not easy to do all the time, but far better to try than not.<br />Big hugs to you!Kananihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08317494343177263398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-195420667680956627.post-83974941254044267282009-09-11T11:11:18.850-05:002009-09-11T11:11:18.850-05:00What a terrible, tragic statment, and its renderin...What a terrible, tragic statment, and its rendering is even magnified by its coming from a pastor.<br /><br />May the Lord help all of us to be humble and obedient.

He doesn't know the the Jesus Christ I know...We are to "Loved our neighbor as ourself"...."Love one another" "God is Love" Let us join together in prayers for Steve Anderson...To oopen his eyes....Pray for our Governments and Presdent...Baracck Obama....Let us join hands and hands in prayers for those who don't know Jesus Christ...who give us Love,Hope,Faith,Comfort,and Peace....

Today, both my husband and I share views that are a bit 'different' than most of our Christian neighbors, relatives and friends.<br />Often, just for the reasons you gave, we simply keep our opinions to ourselves.<br />I've seen and heard so much anger and downright hatred that's being spewed from the pulpit and from the community of believers that it greatly grieves my heart. I can't imagine what it does to the heart of our loving Father. As Ambassadors for Christ, how does this portray our Savior to the world?<br />May God bless you for your truthful and lovingly posted blog.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-195420667680956627.post-76383689169246136652009-09-10T06:02:09.208-05:002009-09-10T06:02:09.208-05:00Debra, Amen!

I grew up in a similar type church where the pastor taught hatred of blacks. He even wrote a book about it. Apparently I wasn't listening because we have bi-racial members in our family. The preacher you mentioned and others like him who claim to represent Christ are treading on dangerous ground and need prayer for the scales to be lifted from their eyes. Woe to those who cause another to stumble. God bless you and have a wonderful day.

Unfortunately, no one ever thinks of those they are offending by demanding that God be taken out of all these things.

As a Pastor he can Pray for Mr. Obama and Pray he get saved and ask for guidance in being the Pres. I believe he does need salvation and he needs to be asking GOd for help for our country everyday, I'm a very conservative Conservative, so I feel like he is governing from the far left and I was hoping he would govern more from the middle or just left of the middle. I tooo have family and friends that believe very differently then I and we have had our fair share of arguments over it, so I say let's not see eye to eye but please let us walk hand in hand!!!<br />hugs,<br />jamieMimihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06070694544133528430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-195420667680956627.post-30399408350813994852009-09-08T06:49:58.398-05:002009-09-08T06:49:58.398-05:00AMEN!!!

This world really is a mess and it seems people are sometimes looking for a reason to be rude and angry! I can tell you this though, that pastor knows a different Jesus from the one I know too but I think you and I know the same one! :)Carol Murdockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16749285023748227382noreply@blogger.com
