so, i have been having this thought for a few weeks...and yes some of you are saying to yourself right now "wes doesn't have alot of brain up there so why would he be having a thought (singular)", for those of you who feel that way i hate you and i hope your hot water heater breaks when you take your next shower! for those of you who are still reading this i commend you :) and will always love you forever and ever...
my thought is this...it's really deep too by the way...
why are we not working together if we are on the same team...
this statement can be applied to my marriage, to my church, to my family and friends...but, i have mainly been thinking in general on where i need to be a team player with my fellow jesus freaks?
the thing that i know is this, if the church as whole doesn't work together to reach people we will stay exactly where we are at...we got to many churches and egos for pastors that we have become less effective at reaching people...it seems we are more effective at staying segragated...and the result is being average churches with average christians...doing average christian things poorly...
"they shall know us by our love" is almost a lost cause...the world sees christians and churches as a bickering, jealous of each other group of people not working together and that is sad...we are quick to pounce on that pastor or christian who is found in a mistake...we have a hard time restoring people and showing mercy when it's needed most...some might strongly disagree but jim baker comes to mind...instead of fighting for our own we disowned a fellow christian and used him as a pedistool for our morality...and i ask the question "did jesus ever do this" the answer is NO...further more NO one came to christ because we stood up for christian morals...they shall know us by our love for one another!
ok and i get it on holy living so don't think i am disregarding what God says but my point is still true...
all i am saying is i am on your team, whoever you are...if you're a fellow jesus freak, lover of God, minister to people, and you call yourself a christian then we are spiritually connected and i refuse to talk bad about you and i refuse to not offer myself to help when i can...i am on your team...
ok all i got
Benjamin Franklin once said we must all hang together, or assuredly, we shall all hang separately. and if we hang separately wes says "this would just suck a hairy mole on your left butt cheek" hanging separately that is = not cool man! a lyric in one of the greatest songs of all time (cough cough) is "we're all in this together"...
word to your mommies...
