A different perspective

Got this a few weeks ago and am enjoying it. Written from the perspective of Christ talking to me. Very insightful.

I have many friends who are not Believers, and even more co-workers. A very diverse population. I know what I believe and why I believe it. They are the same way. Many of them do not believe what I believe, and they have their reasoning. What bothers me I guess are my co-Believers out there that give me bad name. They yell obscenities at the people who do not believe (in the name of Jesus of course) and hope they will see the light. Rubbish.

For those who do not believe in Jesus, or who reject Him and have been verbally assaulted by my stupid comrades...let me just say I am sorry for their behavior. THAT is not what we are supposed to be about. They do NOT represent God, the Church, Christianity, or me.

I am sooo far from perfect. I struggle each day. Foul words occasionally come across my lips, I do have bad thoughts, etc. But I am no better than anyone.

Years ago I was chatting with the High Priest of the Satanic Church in a nearby city about how similar we are. And we are alike. He agreed. I am not perfect. I am a work in progress. So is he. I was embarrassed at the things that Christians had told him over the years. THAT is not was Jesus would want. It is not MY job to convict people, but to love them...just as He loves them. Yes, I do think he is wrong, and he knows that, and why I believe that he is wrong. For me to combat with him verbally would be asinine. For me to build a relationship (sincere of course) with him is more inline with God.

My goal? I want REAL Christianity to flow from me. I want to escape the worldly, churchy, preachy, false, fake, self righteous, self piety type person that tries to creep up on occasion. The one the world unfortunately thinks is our NORMAL state. Ugh.

Be patient with me.
