 | A Short Message To The Phony Christian
By Andrew Friedman
Can you please do me a favor? If you're one of those types of people who have the Christian label & who flaunt it by either portraying it with a huge silver/gold cross/ or by going to church religiously every Sunday ... PLEASE pay attention, cuz this situation is really starting to make me wanna freak'n puke!
I have come across too many of these works-only types out there, who are so good about their religiosity in showing up to the church building, BUT ... there is no love in their hearts. How is this evident? Well, let's see ...
1) Ignoring other church members for the remainder of the week after the Sunday service
2) Looking down upon your brother (or sister) in the Lord, because they are poor, or because they're having tremendous amounts of difficulty in finding employment -or- because for some reason, they are unable to work out in the world in the main stream
3) You refuse to return the phone calls of a brother/sister in the Lord
4) The one that pisses me off the most ... You flatly refuse to take a brother/sister in the Lord t oyour church, & you make up ALL kinds of excuses, as to why you "can't," or some other cock-&-bull story ... Just who in the hell do you think you are, anyway? If a fellow person in the Lord asks you humbly to take them along with you to yer church, -- ESPECIALLY if they tell you that they're having spiritual problems, -- then you do the right thing as someone who's acting like yer led by the Holy Spirit, you take them!
5) While taking them somewhere in yer car, you flatly refuse t ostop for them somewhere, like ... at the bank ATM if they need to make a withdrawl. - I'm gonna tell you, that I once had a "friend," (underline ONCE) Lol - Who came across to me that he cared about me by picking me up & taking me over to his house & took me to church sometimes, but ... he started in with this bullshit where he flatly refused to stop for me when I asked him - not all the time, but once in a while, to the ATM. When I confronted this guy on the phone, & was absolutely polite about it, he attacked me & chewed me out, saying "I AM NOT OBLIGATED TO STOP ANYWHERE FOR YOU. - YOU ARE WAAAAAAAAAAAY OUT OF LINE! -- WAAAAAAAAAAY OUT OF LINE!!" - Not too cool. Needless to say, although I have forgiven him, I am no longer putting myself in that position with him, by continuing to hang out with him. - If you so desire to receive mercy, then make sure you're always willing to give mercy. - That guy had a mercy issue. - I hate that shyte. - ESPECIALLY from a fellow individual, in the Lord.
6) You speak of sin & tell people that they're going to hell, but you are antisemetic, & predjudiced against people of color. Instead of going out to witness to the heathen of the miracles that Jesus Christ performed in yer life, you always tell antisemetic jokes, & bash blacks & Jews. -- Yer either in the KKK (the clan), or The Lord has not yet renewed yer spirit. Knock it off, okay? Drop the phoney act, pull the cross off yer neck, & before ya put it back on, confess your hatreds to Jesus Christ, so that He can change yer heart, & renew yer mind. Otherwise do not go back into the church building & act like yer tryn'a help people, because Jesus Christ hates religious practice & man-made doctrines, & it is impossible to be allowed into heaven, based purely by works. -- The road to hell, is paved with good intentions, so remember that!
Are you one of those types?
Father God, please be merciful upon all of us, & upon those of us who have the Christian label, but for some reason, do not represent You, with the vile cursing hatred upon our lips.
Please lead us by Your Holy Spirit, & forgive us, for these things, O God.
Please cause us to walk down paths guided by You, O God, that we may be able to show the heathen that we have come out from among them, as You so desire, in Your Holy word. Thank You, Lord. InYer name, I pray this. Amen, & amen.
Thank you, for taking out your time to read this blog posting, & may God be with you.
Sincerely,
Andrew Friedman
