“You Didn’t Build That. . . “

Walk through a grave yard and no one waves hello.  Smile at a blind man and he has no idea you even looked at him.  So it is with those who live in the land of the dead.  Though you introduce yourself they have no idea what you’re saying.  And even if you offered them the bounty of the King Jesus they would simply laugh.

With that introduction, we turn to the picture.  What business is it of the world if we prefer to do our Father’s bidding beyond the eyes of the dead?  And if we explained what we are told to do they would not understand it.  So they turn to insults against the King of Kings and His people.  Is this the best they can do?  Of course this is the best they can do.  They haven’t heard the Lord’s voice direct them in the things of the Father.  So they naturally think no one else has either.

Just as an aside:  The response to Chick-fil-a was more a matter of support for free speech than it was a Christian response to an unjust accusation.

  1. Actually, where I live, all of the homeless shelters I know anything about are run by Christians, staffed by Christians, and funded by Christians. I’m not sure who runs our local food bank, but I do know that Christians — including me — donate to it on a continuous basis. My parish St Vincent de Paul society helps people with food, paying their utilities, emergency shelter or whatever else they need. They do this on their own time as unpaid volunteers and without regard to the faith or lack of it of the persons they are helping. Christians are certainly not perfect in their walk with the Lord, but it’s untrue to imply that we don’t help those in need.

    • Thank you for the comment.

      The attack has nothing to do with obedience to Jesus. It’s just a slam at a people who tell others they have something worth giving our lives for. We give because He gave for us. They just don’t get it. The godless simply can’t stand someone enjoying the prospect of death. I am given pause to consider that the person who made that picture and caption does very little to help anyone. But that’s just a consideration.

      This person is very into the “blame game”. Where’s the Christian concepts of forgiveness and encouragement? The devil walks around in a myriad of clothes.

  2. I do agree, but I also believe these are people who lack the component LOVE. It’s very unfortunate how deceptive, violent and hateful our world is today. But there are Christians who truly try to walk in the footsteps of Jesus. Who truly believe we are to love one another, build each other up instead of tearing each other down.

    This was definitely a post which needed to be seen. Thank you so much for sharing, many, many blessings to you…Robin
