Christian Living

---

For God so loved the world,
that He gave His only begotten Son,
that whosoever believeth in Him
should become pretentious,
narrow-minded, judgmental,
and uncompassionate people
with a superannuated theology.

Ready to change all frequent visitors
and converts in a single bound -
getting them to stop smoking,
drinking, doing drugs,
wearing revealing clothing,
piercing their faces
and other unmentionable places,
and changing their purple hair back to brown.

They say they love Him
more and more, but
they’re acting like His enemy.
Going against what is commanded
By the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,
they divide into cliques,
neglecting the new and lonely faces,
never once offering them a seat in
Bible Study or a day out to lunch.
Then drive off in their Touaregs,
ignoring the less fortunate
as they pour another quart
into the Sunbird, then give it a push.

Love is patient. Love is kind.
Love is not envious or
boastful, or arrogant, or rude.
It does not insist on its own way.
It is not irritable or resentful.
It doesn’t rejoice in wrongdoing.
It rejoices in the truth.
It bears all things,
believes all things,
hopes all things,
endures all things -
Love never ends.

And all Christians should follow Him
even if it means having to deal with
sitting next to some scruffy kid
with straggly hair and stinky feet.
You are the only Christ that he will see,
and he might benefit from your company.
