Or is it 3) People who call themselves Christians, but spend all their voice on things that don't matter as much. [BINGO, We have a winner. Tell them what they've won Bob.]
Yesterday I was flipping the channels and I saw Mr. Focused on the Family on TV encouraging christians all across the country to call their respective senator and tell them that they support a Constitutional ammendment defining marriage as man vs. woman. I have no problem with that. Personally I think that homosexuality is contrary to the order God established, but I think that there are more important causes out there that require us as Christians to stand up and tell the world that we acutally care.
Case in point. Later Yesterday I was continuing to flip the channels on the television when I saw the NIghtline special concerning the AIDS epidemic in China and Russia. Here were people who's own nation didn't really give one good damn for their suffering. China is only now waking up, and Russia is still asleep. What really broke my heart was the one doctor in St. Petersburg who was running an orphanage for children (repeat children) who were HIV positive. Was the phone rining off the hook with good Christian people who wanted to love these children whom no one else, but this doctor and his small staff would? No, it was ringing off the hook by people who wanted to send their children to this place. We fight and scream for what we think is important in the world, while at the same time there are perfectly lovable children who aren't, and that makes me Angry.
