Thank You, Micah........... (A Rant)

We sit and blame everyone else, when all the time the source of our problems is us. We become so full of ourselves, and we romanticize past eras in such a way that we become blind to our own sinfulness and conceit. We try to place ourselves on equal footing with God, we try to elevate our standing by tearing down others, and we use pat answers, catch phrases and verses out of context in place of well researched and thought out ideas. We refuse to think for ourselves because we might not like the answers that come, so we follow words that tickle our ears and we become like lambs to the slaughter. We accept what sounds feasible instead of questioning its validity and how it stands up when checked scripturally (using full passages, and not just a phrase here or there, I might add). It is time to open our eyes and minds to the truth Jesus taught, that we must love one another, no matter who we are or what we think. With every adverse comment and action, we throw up barrier after barrier which block access to Jesus. We have to stop bludgeoning people with our perspective and interpretation of the truth.
