“Christians suck.”

That’s a phrase that I hear people say often.

It doesn’t make me angry because they have a point. We do suck sometimes, we are jerks, we can be hypocrites, and we can do stupid stuff.

Now I’m grateful that “the church is a hospital for sinners, not a museum for saints.” 

But there’s something deeper going on when people say, “Christians suck.”

There’s been quite the hype about Chick-fil-A the past few days. Social media and the media in general has gone hog wild with this situation.

I thought about writing about the current situation but came across another blog that fit my views quite nicely.

Below is Perry Noble’s blog on this topic (you can either click on link here or read it below)

What if you woke up in the middle of the night in need of something?

What if you knew your neighbor had what you needed, but your neighbor was a bit rude and in fact you didn’t want to bother them?

³¹ He told them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his field. ³² Though it is the smallest of all seeds, yet when it grows, it is the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds come and perch in its branches.” – Jesus

The kingdom is like a mustard seed.

Parables are always so fascinating to me.

“Money is the world’s curse.” said Perchik
“May the Lord smite me with it. And may I never recover.” responded Tevye

A classic line from the musical, “Fiddler on the Roof.”

Money.

We are all after it, in need of it, and many of us love it.

Most of the Western Culture can resonate with Billionaire Kevin O’Leary when he says,

“I’m a very simple man… All I wanna do is make money”

Just a simple man, in the search for money

Here I am, sitting this afternoon, wondering, a young man, newly married, and thinking

“What am I worried about?”

Money.

So I ventured into the Bible, looking, searching, hoping that God can put me at ease and instead I got a reality check.

Today we celebrate a simple man who had a dream.

What separates him from the rest of us who dream?
