This is going to be short because I do not want to be one of those people. What I want to say is this... If those who stand back and critique or criticize and judge others, would spend one fourth of the time they spend talking about others and start reaching out to their community, reaching out to help the poor, just treating people with kindness and love, they would not have the time to write such judgemental things.
Yes, we may have differences in styles, we may have differences in many things, but if we are all following God's word, the "style" in which which follow God's word is not what's important. What's important is that we are following God's word. It is important to follow Jesus and His teachings, not teachings of men. It is important to love others and not to judge them, that's God's job. It is important to help those in need, not to judge their reasons for that need. Jesus says to "Love One Another". He doesn't say love them if they look and smell like you. He doesn't say love them if they do things the way you do them. He doesn't say love them if they have the same social status as you. He doesn't say love them if... fill in the blank. He simply says, "Love Them". Our job is to be Jesus with skin on to the world. Our job is to Love as Jesus loved. I just don't see Jesus in some of the publications I see. If we start with Love, all the other "stuff" won't matter nearly as much.
“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”
John 13:34,35
Blessings!
