I recently read a blog about the actions of Westboro Baptist Church. I then listened to a podcast this morning in which they interviewed the creator of this movie, aptly titled 'Lord, Save Us From Your Followers', and I was intrigued. Of course, being a Christian we are constantly aware of those who claim to share our faith acting in very un-Christlike ways. Not only is this embarrassing and cringe-worthy, but it's just plain sad. Dan Merchant, the movie's creator is quoted saying, "If you’re a Christian, you give careful thought to what the Bible teaches on law. But we’ve forwarded the gospel of being right versus the gospel of love. We’ve been having the wrong conversation," and it's true! I recommend looking into this movie, or at least the ideas that come out of it. I haven't seen it myself yet, but intend to as soon as I can get my hands on a copy! I will embed a trailer below.
This whole thing also reminded me of a picture that featured in Dave Wiggins' comedy show "Googling God" which I saw last month. Good on this guy...
Let's go ahead and love, yeah?
