I think we know the common Christian preachings. But here are a few:
- God is love
- Love the sinner, hate the sin
- Do unto others as you would have them do unto you
- Love your neighbor as yourself
- Before doing something, ask yourself "What would Jesus do?"
- Practice what you preach
Just consider those teachings in light of this news story out of Tennessee. Two young men went to attend Grace Fellowship Church last week. They were viciously attacked by a group of thugs (apparently church deacons) led by one of the victim's uncles, also a church deacon, and the attack was instigated by the church's pastor, father of one of the victims.
The attack was witnessed by other churchgoers, none of whom attempted to intervene or raised a voice in protest. The reason for the attack - remember it was instigated by the pastor of Grace Fellowship Church - was that the two young men are gay.
Some Grace!
Some Fellowship!
What do these Christians preach? And how do they act?*
