What an image. I hear that term and I imagine some old guy hitting kids on their heads with a big fat KJV Bible. It's amazing to me how the non believers ALWAYS say that Christians are "shoving their beliefs down everyone's throats". This stems from fear. Fear that Christians are right. If they deny what we say is true then it's not, right? I was just watching the One Minute Sermon on Youtube performed by Tamara Lowe and reading some of her comments. In her rap she says "We're all gonna see the King of Kings" believers or non because non believers will have to be held accountable for themselves too. And I think as Christians in this world, in this time and this society we've started preaching about the wrong things. Pastors no longer teach Fire and Brimstone for Sin because it's "uncomfortable". It's all about keeping people in the seats. Why teach about Hell when repentance is less likely to cause controversy. I recently made a comment on my Facebook page that ended up with me losing a few "friends" over. What they don't understand is that I will not apologize for myself. It was about celebrating sin and mediocrity and I was informed that I was "shoving my beliefs down people's throats". We don't call sin a sin anymore. God is a big cuddly Teddy Bear who will love you no matter what... God does love us no matter what, but we can break His heart. God will discipline us, He discipline's me, and those who turn on Him will still have to face Him in the end. I used to think I had to save everyone. I don't. I have to tell the truth, and be a good witness, and Pray. That's my job. And the Lord will deal with me when I die. So, to all the non believers, I will not stop teaching about Christ until you stop celebrating sin and mediocrity, or stop complaining about my teaching of the Word. So I guess I'll never stop. And my favorite thing to do is pray for you. In general, on a whole, pray for those that do not believe. When you tell me not to, I smile and do it even more. Just so you know. *wink*
I'm proud to be a Bible Thumper...I will thump you on the head with my Bible if that's what it takes to get you to listen! :)
