I recently saw a video post on facebook that ask the question, "which would you rather do, sit on a pew or a barstool?" Its all sad and sappy and berates the church for being like the Pharisees of Jesus day... It decrys and touts love and tolerance but offers no hope or victory for the down trodden. It goes on a tirade like that for several minutes. While it sounds good and noble, it reeks of religion in itself. We've become religious about not being religious. In reality we've become insolent to church leaders and insubordinate to anything that is church structured!
I am growing weary of a younger hot-shot generation taking pot-shots at the church and its leaders for what they tout as "the failed generation" that came before them.
Jesus didn't just hang out with sinners, Jesus hung on a cross for sinners. Yes he dinned with them but he also died for them. He brought wine to the wedding and then became wine for wounded. He was beaten for those who imbibed alcohol but not so they could continue to be bound by it. #getoveryourself
