I very good friend of mine was just recently attacked by a group of Christians. He held a game night for his Jr High ministry, playing the kind of games that Jr. High students love (just watch Nickelodeon). No one was forced to do anything they did not want to, they could just watch and laugh if they wanted to. (which is what I would do).
This radio host went on to say that this kind of church is the downfall of evangelicalism, and why the church is in shambles and blah blah blah. I have my own take on why the church is in shambles.
My pastor (Whom I love! he has been the pastor here for 47 years) gave a great annalogy the other week about Christians. He said that Donkeys (i laughed too, and illustration where donkeys are illustrations for christians, ha) in the wild are not very bright. when they get scared they get into a circle with their heads out, and the slightest noise will start one kicking in fear, well he kicks another donkey which will think that he is under attack from the enemy and start kicking also. After a while all the donkeys are dead in a pile and the wolves come in and feast without lifting a finger (or paw).
We christians get so prideful. Jesus gave us the truth, so we take the truth interpret it with our finite human brains and come up with a "we are right about everything" syndrome. In doing this, any view that is different than our own is looked upon as wrong, because we have the truth. Then we end up kicking each other to death in an attempt to attack the enemy.
I'm not sure that Satan has been very busy latley, we've been doing alot of his work for him. Spreading division, tearing eachother down, attacking those trying to further the kingdom, spreading pridefulness. Maybe Satan has looked upon the church and has said, "I think that I'll take a vacation. They have alot of this covered."
Lesson of the day: Everyone should not have to think like you. You don't have all the answers.
