It's not about chicken sandwiches.

I’m gonna be controversial here. Brace yourself.
So this whole Chick-Fil-A and gay marriage thing, it’s just part of a bigger issue.
There are things on both sides of the bigger issue that bother me and I’m tired of them sitting inside. This is a blog. It’s to be able to say what needs said. So here I will say it.
The bigger issue should probably be defined first. The bigger issue is the debate on homosexuality.
The even bigger issue is the fight against sin.
Because I believe in Jesus and that the Bible is God’s word, I believe that homosexuality is sin because the Bible calls it sin. I actually think a lot of the people that are in favor of homosexuality would admit it is sin if they’re being honest with themselves. Cause you can’t discount what God says without sort of slapping Him in the face and there are a lot of people out there who know better than to consciously do that. Calling God a liar to His face is a bad idea and that’s not rocket science.
So I believe that homosexuality is sin. We got that out there. All sin is equal though.
Yeah, some sin has bigger consequences than others but the issue isn’t that people have sinned against themselves or society or even me. The issue is that we have all sinned against a Holy God.
So whether it’s lust (which I am guilty of), stealing (which I am guilty of), hate (which I am guilty of) or homosexuality (which I happen to not be guilty of), it’s all sin. Doing something that opposes what God has said to do or not to do in the Bible is sin-and we have all sinned.
So here’s my stance on the issue: homosexuality is wrong, but it is not a greater sin than any I have committed. While it’s not right, it’s not more wrong than anything that any straight, saved person has done.
So why all the slings and arrows people??? I’m talking to both sides when I say that.
To the people who think homosexuality is wrong: why don’t we start acting like Jesus out of the love He shows us instead of acting like Pharisees who always have to be right?
To the people fighting for homosexuality: Jesus loves you and He sees you for you, not for your sexual orientation.
I don’t expect an unsaved person to behave as if they were saved just like we shouldn’t expect saved people to behave as if they were unsaved.
Church, instead of yelling at people about what they shouldn’t be doing, I bet if we spent more time doing what we should be doing, a lot less people wouldn’t be doing what they shouldn’t be doing.


“Hearing that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees,the Pharisees got together. One of them, an expert in the law, tested him with this question: “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”
Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”
Matthew 22:34-40

Post Prompts I

I googled blog post prompts just for fun and found a website with a whole bunch.  Rather than writing whole posts on some of the topics, I decided to do interview style responses. Write about the first time you broke the law. When I was 4, stole a handful of grass seed from a store. Felt awful but never admitted to it untill way later. They knew I was lying but never prosecuted (is it even possible to prosecute a 4 year old?).  I discarded the evidence onto their lawn as soon as I got out of the store (I guess that was sort of smart).  Why grass seed? Good question.  Your favorite vacation spot or place that you've traveled to. An Island in Malaysia called Redang. Everything about that place looked like those tropical photos you secretly doubt the existence of.  Straight up B-E-A-U-tiful. Write about the passing of a loved one. My Grandma died 2 years ago on the 4th of July (ironic, don't you think?).  For me, the whole experience wa...

Wounded with Love

" You have wounded me with your love and I'll never be the same again I try to run, I try to hide but my heart burns it burns with your fire set a fire down in my soul that I can't contain and I can't control I want more of you God   I love you Lord I don't care what it looks like " This wound is one that I love.  This wound draws me back to you time and time again.  I try to walk away but my heart has been awakened to love and now I can't turn away.  This hurt keeps me yearning for more of the love that changed me forever.  This seal that has been stamped on my heart will forever brand me Yours. At first it didn't make sense to me.  At first I didn't understand how a wound would ever be good, but then you showed me that you had to wound me for my heart to be replaced with yours.  At first I wanted to run and I tried to, but you wouldn't let me get away from something so wonderful.  You don't force me to stay- but the impact ...

Christmas Eve Eve

Today is Christmas Eve Eve.  I worked almost all day.  I'm very thankful for the hours and I didn't have other plans so I didn't mind being there. One of my managers kept asking me if I was in a bad mood though.  I think 3 times she asked me this today between the two shifts that I worked.  At first I just thought I wasn't really paying attention to my facial expressions since I was busy and tired (I tend to look mad when I'm not paying attention and tired). Then I started thinking about it more and I realized that maybe there was something wrong deep down and I hadn't even noticed it. There has been quite a bit on my mind for the past few months and especially this past week or so- I had noticed that- but I didn't know it had gotten to me so much.  I am thankful though because it gives me an opportunity to give the burden to the Lord.  This whole thing has made me think that even though there is noticeably something on my heart the fact that Christmas i...
