Sir Elton: Ban organised religion
http://newsvote.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/6140710.stmWho are we as Christians that would make this man (and others like him) feel the heat of hatred from Christians rather than the refreshing coolness of compassion? When will we stop getting so wrapped up in making ourselves happy and self-medicated that we have time to examine our actions toward others? When will we
turn off our iPods?
shut off our TVs?
eject our CDs?
stop going to the movies?
stop mindlessly surfing the internet?
stop checking our email?
put down that cup of Starbucks and cease our self-aggrandizing pseudo-intellectual conversation?
quit communicating uninformed judgments about people to those around us?
stop being "okay" with where we are?
start living passionately?
When will we give God more than just a passing thought during the day? Don't you know He gave us more than a passing thought when He sent His son to die for us?
I was listening to a message last night given at the S. Baptist Convention of Texas meeting. And I checked my Greek to verify it. The word used for "zeal" happens to be where we get the word "canine" from. Our DOGS give us more than a passing thought!!!
For Jesus Christ's sake (and I mean it literally here), when are we going to put down our self-medication and come to the one true Healer???
