Out of the Bloo

"A young man who wishes to remain a sound Atheist cannot be too careful of his reading. There are traps everywhere--'Bibles laid open, millions of surprises,' as Herbert says, 'fine nets and stratagems.' God is, if I may say it, very unscrupulous."

- C.S. Lewis, Surprised by Joy

"We say that Christians are different . . ."

Jollyblogger nails it:

We say that Christians are different, and we are, and one of the main ways we are different from the world is that we don't take offense at offensive behavior or treatment. We are the people who love our enemies, who bless when cursed, who pray for our persecutors. We follow the one who only wanted forgiveness to be shown to those who crucified Him.

May this be the mark of the church. Amen.

Statements like this make me squirm. They make me squirm because I know that I should be "different". But, I'm not. I want to be. But, I'm not. "For I do not understand my own actions. For I do not do what I want, but I do the very thing I hate."
