Not sure if I can come up with the right words this morning, but I know I have to share this. And let me start by saying that Im not gonna tolerate a bunch of HOLIER THAN THOU manure, (or any cheap plugs for your pastor or church) so if you comment please know that this is a very touchy subject for me. I had the awesome priveledge of one on one prayer with a few of the gentlemen at the jail last night. Two of these young men had tattoos all over their necks and faces. They were clearly products of a very popular counter culture that we see more and more of everyday. After prayer I began to tell them about some of the ministries and churches represented there last night and both men (and there have been literally hundreds of others) made the same comment: yeah, Ive tried a few church services but the people all treated me like I had some sort of communicable disease or something. For the sake of time, Im gonna keep this short and only say THIS....... WE GO TO SUCH GREAT LENGTHS TO MAKE THE WHOLE EXPERIENCE SEEKER FRIENDLY AND ENJOYABLE FOR THE SAINTS OF GOD, BUT WHAT WE FAIL TO REALIZE IS THAT THE VERY ONES WHO NEED US, AND MORE IMPORTANTLY NEED GOD, ARE DROPPING THEIR HEADS IN SHAME AND REJECTION AND SLIPPING OUT THE DOOR WHILE WE HOB KNOB WITH THE REST OF THE CHURCH. Excuse it away anyway we want, whatever makes us sleep better, right? Well, lets just try and remember that while we are basking in our amazing spiritual condition, the ones that are being SENT are being REJECTED. INTENTIONAL OR NOT, it is happening and I just cant imagine how WE can possibly allow it to continue!
