Christian conduct on TV

From derrach.blogspot.com - 3/23/06

Sometimes I feel that my heart gets broken more often by Christians than by "others." Like last night. I don't know about you but I'm getting to rather enjoy American Idol. So, after last nights show FOX premiered a new reality show called UNANIMOUS. So if you didn't watch it I appologize but let me just speak of my disdain while taking in this crazy television creation.

They introduced the 9 people taking part in this "social experiment" and, of course, one of the 9 was a Christian (actually labeled a Minister) and another one of the 9 was an unashamed homosexual. YIKES. In the first 10 minutes or so of the show I was at the edge of tears. This Christian Minister carried on about God, the Bible, Sin and Condemnation. NEVER ONCE DID SHE SAY THE WORD LOVE. This was hard to take in. She told the guy he was going to hell and all that...quite disturbing for all on the show and probably for most watching.

Now, don't be quick to judge here...I'm not necessarily saying what she said was right or wrong but I am going to be bold enough to say that how she said it was definately wrong. Come on Christian, can we learn to love again? Can we let people "know [we] are [his] disciples [by] loving one another."? John 13:35 NIV Can we try showing truth instead of arguing it? I'm sorry but this whole shove-it-in-thier-face thing just isn't doing it.

I don't know.

Maybe it's just me.

Or, just maybe, it's the God of Love inside me.

I guess that's for him to decide...
