Would Jesus Discriminate?
They say that Sunday morning worship is the most segregated hour in America.   Perhaps Jesus would not discriminate, but a lot of His followers do.   Would Jesus do that? 

We are in a time when the pain and suffering of discrimination are still felt far too often in the world.   Whether it is the divided families of aliens in our midst or the killing of gay people or even the inequities of funding of public schools along racial lines, the evidences of bigotry are there.   When it is done in the name of Jesus, that is particularly scandalous, and not biblical. 
 
If Jesus would discriminate, who would be left out?  Who would be included?
 
What do you think?  Are you ready to learn more?   We are here to help, tearing down walls, building up hope.   It is time to unite our community, changing the world one life, one soul at a time.

The world can become a better place--
one where everyone is welcomed, where diversity is commonplace, and differences are celebrated.  You wouldn't want to be left out, would you?  No one else does, either!

We celebrate opportunities. We rejoice in all the many faces and images of God.  We are all made in God's image. No exceptions. And that is something to celebrate.
 
BOTTOM LINE: Jesus died for you (and everybody else).   Jesus died for the whole world. No exceptions.  No fine print.  No footnotes saying that anyone is left out.

 

 

DISCRIMINATION comes in many shapes and insidious ways. Religion often maintains certain standards and rules that have very little to do with the Bible, and even less to do with faith in Jesus; The truth is that many who are poor are Christian; many who speak languages other than English are Christian; many who are different from you are Christian; many who are gay and lesbian are Christian as well.


Race?
Gender?
 
Occupation?
The human tapestry is diverse.  Without any part of it, everything would unravel.  With the diversity of us all, the fabric is stronger.   Too often, in the name of religion, the Church has excluded those that Jesus intentionally went out of His way to embrace--those who were poor, those who were aliens in a strange land, those who were despised by the establishment.  It is as if Jesus, the Alpha and Omega, the A to Z, knew that without everyone, the language would be unable to spell out the wonderful good news of the inclusive love of God in Christ Jesus! 
 
It is time to change the dialog.  It is time to change the family portrait.  It is time to work at making the world as wonderful and diverse as God sees it--a world that God desired to see united in Christ.
 
In John 17:20-21(The Message Bible), Jesus prays for us this way:
Holy Father, guard them as they pursue this life that you conferred as a gift through me, so they can be one heart and mind as we are one heart and mind.
