The Truth Can Hurt.... This Might Sting A Little

This blog is about almost anything and everything. You won't see any p.c. junk on this blog (just the opposite). I say what's on my mind, and I don't normally care if I offend anyone, especially if I know what I'm saying is the Truth. If the truth offends you or if you just can't handle the truth, too bad. I don't claim to always be right or to know everything, but I always try to get the facts straight before I say something. If something here is factually incorrect, please let me know.

Christian bigotry?

Ok, I know there are people out there who think that Christians are bigots and "intolerant" because they believe what the Bible has to say about homosexuality (Romans 1:24-28), other religions (John 14:6), paganism, and just sin in general. I think it's ironic that some people want to embrace all everyone's views and religions as being equal and valid ("to each his own"), as long as they're not Christians with a belief in the Bible as the Holy Word of God.

So why are these people so intolerant of Christianity when they call for tolerance? WHY? Where are you people? What's your motive? I know you're out there. C'mon, tell me, why?

Tragically they live for the present and not the future (eternally speaking). Even though they refuse to listen, as followers of Christ we cannot allow frustration to take precedence over sharing the Truth; even if it is viewed as dogmatic. Thanks for the thought provoking post.

I think you are only the 2nd person to leave a comment on my blog ever and the first to be allowed (the first comment was not allowed because it contained what I considered to be propaganda). Maybe I'll have to start wrtiting more on my blog. I haven't done that for quite a while.

I'm just a 30-something, easygoing, ordinary, Christian, humble yet bold (or at least trying to be) kind of guy living in southern Minnesota. I sometimes strive to be as far from politically correct as I can. I'm hard to offend and easy to get along with if you're not a flaming liberal! I have been happily married since January 2009 and a homeowner since December 2008, and of course I'm finding that I don't have nearly as much free to time as I used to. But it's all good because God has truly richly blessed me and I can't thank him enough for that, especially since I don't really deserve it!

Is there any encouragement from belonging to Christ? . . . Then make me truly happy by agreeing whole-heartedly with each other, loving one another, and working together with one heart and purpose.

1 Peter 5:5-11 NLT
5 In the same way, you younger men must accept the authority of the elders. And all of you, serve each other in humility, for
"God opposes the proud
but favors the humble."*
6 So humble yourselves under the mighty power of God, and at the right time he will lift you up in honor. 7 Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you. 8 Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour. 9 Stand firm against him, and be strong in your faith. Remember that your Christian brothers and sisters* all over the world are going through the same kind of suffering you are. 10 In his kindness God called you to share in his eternal glory by means of Christ Jesus. So after you have suffered a little while, he will restore, support, and strengthen you, and he will place you on a firm foundation. 11 All power to him forever! Amen.
*5:5 Prov 3:34 (Greek version).
*5:9 Greek: your brothers.
