<\/p>\nI know that the church is not supposed to follow the world, but sometimes, I think the church could learn a lot from the world.<\/p>\n
Take this as an example:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
What else could the church do instead of leaving trashy fliers like this on the windshields of other people? How about volunteering to be designated drivers for drunk people? Of course, the Christians who leave these fliers would spend the time telling their drunk passengers how they are going to burn in hell for getting drunk, so that might not work out so well…<\/p>\n
But maybe instead of leaving junk on people’s windshields, the church could go clean junk up out of the bar parking lot. These lots are often filled with empty bottles, cigarette butts, and other fun items. Sometimes there is even puke.<\/p>\n
There are other things the church could do, but whatever is done, we must make sure we are a blessing and not a curse to the people around us. And putting signs on windshields about how the owner is going to hell is not a blessing…<\/p>\n
If you belonged to this church, what could you do to be a blessing to the people who frequent this bar?<\/p>\n
Here is a facebook update which shows the world shaming the church. Let us not be a curse to the world, but a blessing instead.
