Loving Correction

Dear Daddy:

Down here in GA we just had another instance of institutional hate-crime, when the GA Baptists tossed two churches out of their denomination. What had the churches done to deserve this? They only lovingly allowed homosexuals to be involved in the full program, including laboring as officers! What kind of denomination could do this----at this late date?

By the way, you and your kind make me sick--so intolerant and always trying to impose your morality on others.

Dear Big:

What kind of denomination indeed? Those Baptists are obviously a very conservative one -- why, I hear it took them over ten years of the antics of those churches before they finally acted! I bet some folk began to think what was going on was with full approval -- how unloving not to have just applied correction years ago!

As for your comment about my being "intolerant" -- I , who allow essentially all views to be expressed here -- was a bit shocked at first. But then, I finally began to appreciate that you obviously seek my approval--you must feel that Daddy is in the enviable position of being able to practice toleration! That implies superiority! Thank you! I will try even harder to be more sensitive to those with inferior beliefs and behaviors!

But, please never let me be accused of "imposing my morality" -- that morality is what I threw out many years ago when I got saved. It wasn't any better than yours. If I could impose a morality, it would be only that true one -- the morality of Jesus. And He does a fine job of handling that chore. Try living for Him and enjoying it -- or dying without Him , and finding out what true imposition really is.
