Taking Down Stop Signs
Taking Down Stop Signs
Jun 02
The church has been known for many years to be a place where the list of DON’Ts is posted. The church spends so much time telling everyone what not to do. Don’t drink, don’t smoke, don’t dance, and so on. The job of the church is not to make sin inaccessible but instead to make Jesus accessible.
When the church tells a guy not to sleep with his girlfriend, the message seems to say, “You shouldn’t have fun.” When the church tells two men that it is wrong to be in a homosexual relationship then it seems to be judgmental. When the church tells a person not to blow money on luxury items, then it seems hypocritical. All of the “stop signs” the church posts may be well intentioned but it also stops people from seeking Jesus.
When the church is not making Jesus accessible, then it is simply moralizing people without life transformation. We do not need to “clean” people up first, but simple show the love and compassion of Jesus to others. Jesus will take care of helping people through each issue. If I had to be perfect before I met Jesus I would never have approached.
When the church is simply putting up “stop signs” to keep people away from sin, then the result is a building full of hypocrites trying to make everyone look like them. How you dress, the words you use and the way you act must all conform to their image. The Bible calls us to be conformed to the image of Jesus. Take the “stop signs” down and put up the directional arrow to Jesus. It is the only path worth following.
Hi Everyone again,
I’m not 100% beleiver and I will discuss various stuff in this topic.
First of all I won’t go in Hell because it doesn’t exist. Hell and Heaven are 2 identities created by human a long time ago to design what’s bad from good. Did you think that any god would consider a sin to not beleive a specific path of life (Exemple: Christianity or Judaism) If you say yes you are forsaken and blind by your own point of view.
What I hate these days is that people only beleive in their own values that are constantly being brainwashed by tv and everyone else arround. I beleive that all the Gods are made from one antity that is called the Source. Religions are something to show us the path, make us think and learn by it’s content. It promote peace and being well with everyone.
The stop sign at the end is what kind of stop sign did you really drop down. The one that “everyone” beleive or the one you think is the more logic ?
Part 2.
I don’t know if the first part will be published but whatever the autor is the creator and owner of this page as God is from everyone. God is identity the research to the perfect wellness. In fact perfection doesn’t really exist but getting on the road to perfection is something we can all do.
STOP SIGNS
This is what tell’s you what to do and not what to do. This is how stubborn you can be sometimes and how blind you can be. I shouldn’t be writing this or even using the computer other than studying but I’m getting sick of it. Want to free my mind and writing helps me to accomplish this.
Stop Signs is what makes the difference between YES & NO , how far can we really get before the action/reaction effect will bounce back to us. Life isn’t fair a lot of time and we always blame others or ourselves for that. Stop being stubborn and stick to what you truly want. I know you don’t see the link with the topic but whatever isn’t what a blog supossed to be all about …
Sometimes we need to live deep moments to take a perceptive back on everything. Although is it normal that we only take it there and not when everything was okay ?
