Don't you?

Don't you dislike when someone you love and care about doesn't believe in themselves, when they have so much potential?

Don't you dislike when people you've never met claim you're a bad influence on someone who you've done nothing but encourage and help through the pain their family has caused them?

Don't you dislike when people you've hardly met make no effort to get to know you but then trash you behind your back with falsehoods?

Don't you dislike seeing people talk a lot about how humble and good they are, when the fact they emphasize those supposed two qualities exposes they're really not that humble and/or good?

Don't you dislike when churches talk a lot of homosexuality and abortion, and not enough time on the streets meeting people where they are and trying to help those who need help?

Don't you dislike a generation of consumers and materialistic people (I'm just as guilty) who complain if they're $5 meal price is increased, when most of the world lives on half of that a day?

Don't you dislike the fact that churches are supposed to be all about the love of Christ, and yet the preachers use the pulpit as a vehicle to air their issues with people or to give their opinions?

Don't you dislike people who are flawed and act as if they're not?

Don't you dislike people who don't seem to think they're sinners? I'd rather be in a group full of people who know they're sinners, than people who pretend they're not.

Don't you dislike when Christians create their own little bubbles where they home school their kids, make their families hang out with only Christians (great evangelism) and who judge the world from their self-made thrones of self-righteousness?

Don't you dislike when people would rather stab you in the back, instead of stabbing you in the front?

Don't you dislike when people don't treat others how they want to be treated, and then preach to others that they should?

Don't you? I know I do.

  1. Yes I do dislike the same things..... I might add parents that don't love their kids unconditionally is something I dislike too. Love you Jordon! :)
