[Discoveries] 05-24-07 The wrong advertisement

[Inspiration in Your Inbox]

/*If, while we seek to be justified in Christ, it becomes evident that 
we ourselves are sinners, does that mean that Christ promotes sin? 
Absolutely not! -- Galatians 2:17*/

I wish Christians were always a good advertisement for Christianity, 
but, as you and I both know, that is not the case. Ghandi was turned 
away from Christ by a man who was supposed to be an ambassador for 
Christ, but he was an ambassador for racial prejudice instead. Many evil 
things have been done in the name of Jesus -- I go through a catalog of 
stories in my mind -- things people have shared with me, things that 
have touched my life, things I have experienced -- I page through this, 
close the cover, and choose not to share any of these stories with you. 
You probably have your own catalog.

In the middle of all the disgust, confusion, pain and disappointment 
that this causes is a simple invitation. It is found in Psalm 34:8: 
Taste and see that the LORD is good.

Jesus will clear the confusion, ease the pain, heal the hurt. As He 
does, an amazing thing will happen. We will see these people who have 
done wrong in a whole new light, and discover Christ's love for them 
inside ourselves.

Be encouraged!
Dwight
