I feel sad at the moment..

I saw in Mark's blog, where a church didn't want "those" people in their midst. I know of a church up north, that won't visit a certain population, because they don't have enough "committed" to ministry needed. I believe it's like in FL, they don't want "those" people.
What's wrong with the "church" these days? Jesus said people would hate us for being His. But that's not the only reason they hate us today. It's because we don't love enough, we don't care enough. We say, "Hate the sin, but love the sinner." But do we? Isn't the truth that so many of us are so full of pride we just don't admit our sins? We as a whole, don't hate the sin, WE LOVE THE SIN! We love to hate the sinner, because it makes us feel better about ourselves! BUT, we don't swear, smoke, drink, commit adultery, we attend services regulary, memorized a few scriptures, ..and even said the sinner's prayer! Wow, I must be okay! Isn't that how so many really think, or at least that's what they portray in their lives. They wouldn't stop to give a homeless person a morsel of bread, let alone a cheeseburger,..they would never invite the "folk from that neighborhood" because..as some still say in the south, ..they're "colored" and we aren't supposed to be unequally yoked! (Doesn't that scripture refer to marriage with a non-believer?)
They would never dare enter a prison, or a rehab facility it's far to dangerous! They are scarey people. Do we still teach little kids that old song, "And they'll know we are Christians by our love"??? Will they ..KNOW we are Christians by our love? I have heard things and read things in the past several months, weeks, and even hours that have just made me really sad. And I can't help but wonder..why would anyone want to be a Christian if there is nothing different? If there is no love, if there is judgement or even resentments. What drew me? The love of Christ Himself, and what kept me? The love of Christ! And the body of believers who through the years taught me, and encouraged me..and LOVED me, no matter what! I don't think I am better than anyone else, I am just still so surprised when I read or hear things like the above. And it makes me sad. It makes me want to do more. Perhaps, to much. Sometimes I feel like a bull in a china shop.
"Lord, help me love more..with a gentle and quiet spirit! Help me to make a difference, without offending others. And Lord, I pray make seeing eyes blind, and blind eyes see!"
