When someone asks if their jeans make them look fat, it’s okay to say no

If someone asks does my theology make me look stupid.. say yes! Stand up for the Gospel even if it hurts peoples’ feelings.

AMEN!!!

1 Corinthians 1:18-31 For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. For it is written, “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the discernment of the discerning I will thwart.”

Where is the one who is wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? For since, in the wisdom of God, the world did not know God through wisdom, it pleased God through the folly of what we preach to save those who believe.

For Jews demand signs and Greeks seek wisdom, but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gentiles, but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. For the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

For consider your calling, brothers: not many of you were wise according to worldly standards, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth. But God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong; God chose what is low and despised in the world, even things that are not, to bring to nothing things that are, so that no human being might boast in the presence of God.

And because of him you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, righteousness and sanctification and redemption, so that, as it is written, “Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.”

Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock. And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it.”

Judging things by their worst examples is a trendy thing. Every group has its bad apples, so by that reasoning every group is bad. But there are two sides to every story. There is the rule, and there is the exception: how do you tell which is which? You can’t unless you’re willing to look at both.

Luk_12:51 Do you think I have come to bring peace to the earth? No, I have come to divide people against each other!

It gives someone a weak excuse to reject something they don’t like and would reject anyways, but it makes them sound better if they give what they think is a *good* reason.

Deconstruction of religion isn’t new. It’s as old as religion itself.

I’ve been watching Todd Friel’s teaching for a few months.
I think he is definitely on target.

Even if the reason itself is weak. Like if they say “In America, lots of Christians owned slaves” while forgetting it was mostly the work of Christians that freed them. Selective reasoning, like moral relativism, only serves one side of an argument.

Give me that old time religion
It’s good enough for me

LBJ making religion tax free has filled the pulpit with crooks and criminals and the ungodly.
