So as some of you may know I have been wrestling with the "church" for most of my Christian journey. I have screamed from the roof tops to hell with the church and my heart once again is making that cry. I have striven to live a life that speaks of Jesus and His role in my life. My heart breaks for those who seek comfort in the church to only find a heart of rejection due to the most archaic things. I have personally experienced this many times over a few examples are being asked not to come back to a church until I can dress appropriately, and most recently being told I am unfit for leadership solely because I have to many tattoos. I can only think God save us from ourselves is the church stuck on the traditions of times gone by, are we looking at the heart or simply the outward appearance. I can't help but to think of Jesus writing in the sand to save the adulteress woman. We clearly need more of that Jesus in todays church. What if you had to wear your past as I wear my tattoos? Would you be rejected by the church or considered less than acceptable? Well here is what I have to say to members of the body, I love you as Christ loves you but there are far to many butt holes on this body, is this you? is your foul stench repelling people from Christ? What if we all took a little time to ask ourselves are we loving like Jesus or are we just passing gas that repels the people seeking comfort in Christ. Are we being the loving arms of Jesus or another butt hole on the church body.
