Chasing with a Reckless Abandon

Someone else’s underwear part 2 ?????

I follow a number of people on twitter.  A number of people who no one would ever recognize, people who would be recognized and everything in-between.  I follow Christ followers and people who do not follow the teachings of Christ.  I follow pastors and non pastors.  A couple of weeks back on a Sunday morning a really prominent pastor I follow wrote the following message:

“Looking at a guy who sat through worship and now he’s sleeping through the sermon. Wonder if he calls himself a Christian? #sad #deluded“

Here is my reply:

“maybe the sitting / sleeping man worked the night shift and loves God more than sleeping in the bed. Slow down w/ judgement”

It’s hard in the real world and it’s easy to lose touch with reality.

Hey maybe the guy doesn’t love God at all.  He didn’t want to be a hypocrite and so he didn’t sing songs he didn’t mean.  Maybe he was falling asleep because the preacher was boring or using words to describe the Love and Truth of God that this man couldn’t understand without a life full of church history.

Sometimes being a 1st time guest is NOT so welcoming.
