Why do I write so much correction? You might ask, the reason is that the good things need no help, they are already where they should be.
There is so much foolishness going on in the world today it takes a lot of energy trying to make sense to those who love being foolish.
Those of you who are not being foolish, wonderful, keep going! That's all you get from me because I don't want to remove your reward in heaven by praising you too much.
If you must rebuke me, good, I love a new growth spurt.

The Passenger on the Plane was Silly
The news about the passenger who refused to leave the United plane and then was removed is ridiculous.
I am not angry at United, I am angry at the passenger who refused to obey authority. We have no right to resist authority just because we don't like what their doing.
"Resisting arrest" on a flight is foolish. The offender should have just gotten off the plane and resolved his problem another way. I have no patience for rebellious entitled people who refuse to honor authority.

Character is What Matters
God doesn't care about a person's skin tone or people group, He cares about their character.
I cringe every time I hear of a group of people that exclude others based on skin tone. I say skin tone, because I have never seen a "black" person, nor have I ever seen a :white" person. I see a lot of different shades of brown or tan, but no one is "red, yellow, black or white." LOL
It's alright to refer to me as "white" it helps others identify who to look for when I get lost, for the purposes of identification. But to base how I am treated on my skin tone is sin. And, no one else should do this to anyone.
I was once called "cracker" by a dark brown person, it made me laugh so hard I cried. Guess what, I am closer to the color tone of a saltine cracker than I am to a white piece of bread.
Racism for anyone is sin, I don't care what excuse one may give for holding bitterness toward a people group, it remains sin. Every person must be evaluated individually based on their character and their core beliefs.
Our beliefs will determine our actions. When we have contempt inside for someone, it will cause us to treat them in mean spirited ways, even covertly if not overtly. No one can hide what is inside, others will see what we do and judge our character on that.
Matthew 15:17-19 "…17 “Do you not yet realize that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and then is eliminated? 18 But the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart, and these things defile a man. 19 For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, and slander.…"
I confess a prejudicial attitude toward cults and false religions because of their wicked belief systems and actions. However my desire is to help those in these groups to see the gospel to come out of them. The systems are evil and the people in them are deceived and need to be delivered from them through hearing the gospel.
May we look at individuals and actions to determine their character.
