"GOD WANTS YOU TO SHUT UP BECAUSE YOU ARE EMBARRASSING HIM!"
- From the movie "Oh, God!"
Have you ever said or did something that makes Christians or God seem rediculous? I know sometimes I have been an absolute embarrassement to God in how I have acted or spoken rashly. Soren Kierkegaard has been one of my favorite authors for a long time. He was asked one time about how church people took offence at some young people who used the sanctuary for a dance one night. He responded, "Using a sanctuary for a dance on Saturday night is not half as bad as using it on Sunday morning to make a fool out of God."
God's Word calls us to "grow up" and "put away childish things" (1 Cor.13;11). Trying to figure out what Jesus would do (WWJD) won't work. Isn't it time we start humbling ourselves, listening for God's spiritual promptings in what we say and do, and look around and where ever we see Jesus doing something, simply join him?
