Why cant we be the kind of Jesus people, that people need..??

Why cant we be the kind of Jesus people, that people need..?? God has done a crazy work in me, over the past few years. I went from not caring about what people do, like at all,  to having a holy anger, to wanting to love like Christ.. I know it is possible to love like Christ and still preach the truth because Jesus did it!..

The world just keeps getting worse, and worse.. And we try to fight for what is right, and what is true, and what is just, but it looks like its never going to be in our favor.. I know that Yes, we need to stand up for God's word, and stand true to faith, but how does that affect the people who don't give two craps about what we are standing up for.. What about those people? I think I came to realize why Christians, myself included have gotten into the place of holy anger.. Its because we see the defilement that comes from peoples hearts.. and we don't want it to keep spreading, and keep defiling the world we live in..

Are you afraid of the crazy, insane world defiling you and your children?..

Guess what you don't have to be afraid of that anymore..

 Then Jesus called to the crowd to come and hear. “All of you listen,” he said, “and try to understand.  It’s not what goes into your body that defiles you; you are defiled by what comes from your heart.” And then he added, “It is what comes from inside that defiles you. 21 For from within, out of a person’s heart, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, 22 adultery, greed, wickedness, deceit, lustful desires, envy, slander, pride, and foolishness. 23 All these vile things come from within; they are what defile you.”

See Jesus said its not what comes from outside that defiles you, it comes from you! You defile yourself, not from someone elses choice.. The person making that choice, or living in sin is defiling themselves.. I'm not saying that the sin of one person doesn't affect someone else.. Our government is a good example of that.. I would compare it to earthquakes. We don't take the initial quake, we get the aftershock. We don't get the direct affect. We usually have to live with the aftermath..

What I am saying however is that if you see someone defile themselves.. Don't run away at first because you think that what they did, or who they are, or the choices they make are going to rub off on you, and somehow make you like them.. Instead show them the love of Christ. Be like Jesus! Share the message of Christ with them, pray for them, maybe even say to yourself.. "I know God loves that person, and what is God telling me to do to help them? I bet the answer would be to love them anyway"..

This is why it is so important to be in a relationship with God, and train your children up correctly. When you are gone, they will have to stand on their own, and if they don't have God in their life, then they will waver. That is why it also says too.. Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life.


Now how does our holy-anger earthquake affect those people who don't give to craps about the word of God.. Well it just keeps pushing them farther and farther away it.. It just keeps hardening their hearts, and turning them into ice.. 

I'm sick of living with the aftermath of the hypocritical church.. Church people say, come to church. Come as you are. Jesus loves you just as you are.. But then when hot topic issues hit the press every Christian out there, has to throw down holy anger all over the place!! 

Jesus people have to try to clean up the mess of the hypocritical church people... and then we all wonder why no one is getting saved, and why no one in the church is on fire, and why everyone has their church faces on, and why people are living lies!. Its a big huge fat mess! 

I say lets all preach the truth with love! Let people not only come to church as they are, but come to you as they are.. Accept them for who they are because Jesus accepted you just like you were, and with all your baggage too.. Then let Jesus do what He does best... Let Him change and transform them into something beautiful! Let God get the glory for the change of heart, and the renewing of their mind..

Seriously just let people meet Jesus!
