No wonder the world hates us…

It’s just that it’s supposed to hate us for loving Jesus, not for being Pharisees…

Ethics Daily.com: A group of six church-goers came in the other night after their evening services and sat down, not in her area but in another server’s. When the girl came to greet them and take their drink order, one of them said, We want to tell you up front that we will not be tipping you tonight because …”
Are you ready?

“…We do not believe in people working on Sunday.“

Makes me want to turn tables over… but the author makes a good shift to turning that lens on himself. I’m attempting to do the same.

Thanks for sharing this. It makes my blood boil as well. Like you said, I am trying to examine the Pharisaical in my life. If all it does is make us mad and we don’t change then we really are no better.

Also, this happens to be the perfect illustration for my lesson this Wed for our students. Love the way God works.

I feel sorry for these ‘church goers’, because obviously they have missed something in the teachings of Jesus. Perhaps they don’t even know him as their Savior. The thing is that stories like this are heard more often than stories about ‘church goers’ who do good things. Like tipping extra on Sundays, or actually saying ‘Thank you’ to the server or praying for them. I suppose it is because they don’t announce in the hearing of everyone there that ‘I am tipping extra because Jesus told us to be generous’.
