This is still a very new blog and I'm very impressed that so many people have paid us a visit thus far. Thank you very much. Comments are so very welcomed.
As suggested by one of our Authors here...yesterday we tried out the first wordless Wednesday...and while no comments were made here yet about the KKK photo, I got feedback elsewhere about that.
Please understand that this wasn't posted to insult us who believe. The reason I posted such a terrible picture was to raise awareness of how many in the world view us. Sadly, they view things like that photograph as being all of us and not the confused individuals that do those type of things.
It was said to me that we shouldn't "stoop" to the level of people who think of Christians that way, but those very people are just as important to our Lord as we are to Him. Fake Christians or misguided ones have done some really horrible things throughout the last few thousand years while claiming the name of this same Jesus Christ that we do.
If there is any purpose to this blog it is to reach people exactly where they are in their own lives...and to be 'the other guys'....'the good Christians' who try and relate to them as best as we know how and show them the type of love that they may not have ever found in the church building down the road from them.
The point of this blog is NOT to be 'the cool Christians' as has also been stated to me by someone. I'm not going to go kick it with people and drink 40's and smoke crack with anyone so that they will see how great a Christian can be, lol, I only smoke crack because its tasty (kidding). Seriously this isn't an attempt to be cool or worldly to attract, but an attempt to be real...an attempt to say that we hear you...we are listening...we are aware...and we want to change perceptions with the same type of love and grace that our Lord has shown to us.
There will be other pictures that will cause that same type of bitterness by some fellow believers...and it is not done so to offend, but to show that we can look at ourselves and our Church objectively and do everything we can to take away any steam from people who use hatred as their ministries.
Jesus loves all of us and wants for us all to be in His family and His kingdom...in turn this blog was created to show people just how simple and awesome it is to accept such a beautiful and totally FREE gift.
Thank everyone again for visiting...please come again.
In His service,
Adam
