Hello out there. This is a new venture for me as a writer and as a Christian. I just felt that I needed to shout about a lot of things in the news recently... I'm not a cable news junkie (well, not really) but there are just so many things going on in the world today that Christians aren't speaking out about--both for and against.
Now, I know that's a generalization, but it's probably close to the truth. The vast majority of Christians like to stay in their "comfort zones" and prefer not to get their hands dirty talking about life and death issues, same-sex marriages, people starving and homeless in their own cities and the overall level of "acceptable violence" apparent in our Western culture.
Most Christians just want to drive to their suburban church on Sunday morning, sit in the pew for an hour or two and then drive on home and forget about all this Jesus stuff... As long as they feel their "souls" are being "fed" with "feel good" ideas, then does it really matter that children are starving on the other side of the county or world? Wouldn't Jesus have preferred to hang out at the Country Club and sip martinis and shoot a game of golf every once and a while? He certainly wouldn't want to get his hands dirty or risk derision for taking a stand on the issues, now would he?
Not!
So, I hope you see where I'm coming from. Feel free to post your views and comments, too. Maybe together we'll be able to "crawl out of our comfort zones" and share the Gospel the way Jesus intended, dirt and controversy included.
