Come on, don't get offended
by the My Butt part of the title. Geez.
And don't get all huffy at the picture, either.
But if you've really got your heart set on getting mad
you know, if you're just dying to get your panties all
twisted up in a wad... well, then get offended... no,
get flat-out stinking, red-faced mad at what the church has
done to the love feast.
Oh, you've never heard of
the love feast?
Really? That's kinda sad.
It's amazing how close we think we can get to the edge
of sin and still wonder why we struggle with our flesh.
Like, duh! Like, how stupid is that! And, sadly,
the church reflects that struggle compounded by the
millions.
Come on, do we really think we can stand close to the
fire of sin and not have our clothes smell like smoke?
Do we really believe the world doesn't see? Do we
really think we can "claim to have fellowship with the
light and yet walk in darkness" and believe that Jesus
is OK with that?
Ugh.
Stay tuned and find out...
Note: This podcast
consists of a
Love Jesus, Hate Church Reformation Series Sermon on
the subject of Life in the Two Kingdoms
titled, "Stupid Is as Stupid Does"
And, as you know, there are some inherent limitations in
listening to a recording of a live message. Therefore,
if you imagine me pointing to the Kingdom of God to my left
and the kingdom of the world to my right, you will get a
better picture of the dynamics of the topic.

Im completely in favor of the separation of Church and
State.
My idea is that these two institutions screw us up enough on
their own,
so that both of them together is certain death.
George Carlin (1937- )
I am keenly aware of the fact that you may be wondering
about a guy who would write a book entitled, Love Jesus, Hate
Church. You probably have some questions, maybe many
questions, about the origins of a book that makes people as
uncomfortable as Love Jesus, Hate Church has proven to do.
You may be asking yourself, "How can you be a Christian
and use the words Love and Hate and Jesus and Church all in
the same sentence? It just seems so wrong."
And, you're right. It does seem wrong.
True. But wrong.
Yep, I would probably be wondering the same thing if
the tables were turned and I found myself in your shoes.
So, let me see if I can shed some light on who I am and
why I do what I do by telling you a bit about myself and how I
came to write Love Jesus, Hate Church. Let me share with you,
oh, how shall I put it the joy of believing the lie. I
believe this will give you a better grasp of who I am and why
I wrote
Love Jesus, Hate Church.
