Christians are such an easy target

The funny thing about Christians is how easy it is to criticize them.

The world, largely, thinks Christians think they’re perfect.

So when an imperfect Christian (which is all of them) does something hypocritical to core Christian values, everyone be like, “See, Christians need to shut up”.

The differences are absurd

Better late than never, even if you have to go solo.

 

Can’t and won’t are not the same argument.

Makes more sense when we read them in a sentence:

  1. I can’t love God.
  2. I won’t love God.

The first stems from excuses.

The second comes from selfishness and pride.

Common sense gets lost in translation

Quote about beautiful eyes

Often, the source of wisdom can make or break our personal believability. For instance, from Luke:

No one tears a piece from a new garment and puts it upon an old garment; if he does, he will tear the new, and the piece from the new will not match the old. 37) And no one puts new wine into old wineskins; if he does, the new wine will burst the skins and it will be spilled, and the skins will be destroyed. 38) But new wine must be put into fresh wineskins. 39) And no one after drinking old wine desires new; for he says, `The old is good.

Makes total sense because fermentation creates pressure. And anyone who’s ever enjoyed aged wine understands the second part.

Teaching our son about parables – stories that illustrate an important and wise concept.

A concept that is applicable to every aspect of life.
