04110 – Showing God’s Love to Others

Christians. I’ve checked everywhere and I cannot find the following anywhere in the Bible:

Cast out the poor from you for their woes are not your responsibility. Ship them someplace else if you need to or if all else fails wall them out.

Nope.

Choose first your people but even among them help only those you feel truly deserve it.

Not there.

Raise your eyes to the economy. Let it guide your heart and all your decisions and especially how you vote.

Couldn’t find it.

Use my name to tell others they missed out on being fearfully and wonderfully made and have no part in my kingdom for Jesus is on the side of only a chosen few.

Not in any translation.

Be steadfast in loving your country above all else and protect all things that you feel are yours by holding them tight.

Again, not there.

America is the best and is God’s favorite. (Gosh it’s weird America is no where in the Bible at all…and to wrap the Bible up in love of the USA is the very definition of taking the Lord’s name in vain full stop).

Worry not if you have more opportunities than others for this just means you are my favorites and there is no need to change the world so things are more equal. Just enjoy and try and get more stuff!

A big nope.

Seeing these things are not in the Bible and noticing that most of the Bible says the exact opposite of this we may need to adjust accordingly.

I’m afraid people are really misunderstanding Jesus when we Christians act like we are following Him but really we are following our own selves.

Sooooo…remember, as we said in youth group growing up, you might be the only Bible someone reads. What are we doing that shows others that we believe God is love and Jesus wants us to love each other?

Not saying, showing. That’s the question.

Amen.
