after reading my friend zak's diary (spittingame, read be enlightened) i decided to add on to what he said.
he was talking about how one should not like God because of the potential for either heaven or hell, but rather just because he is worth liking.
the church i drive by on my way to work is called jordon's crossing.
its an all white building with that classic southern church look. a box with a triangle roof. maybe a cross on top of the triangle. i cant remember.
what i do remember is that for the last several days there has been a poster on the side of the building that faces the road.
the poster takes up the length of the wall and almost the width. its very large.
on it is a photograph of an airplane crashing into the world trade center. in very bold letters, the poster reads: "what if you were on the thirty second floor? where would you spend eternity?" and then there was the church phone number.
do i have to explain why this makes me sick?
are there people out there, people that i know, that would consider this a good idea?
i cannot possibly fathom myself, or anyone else, seeing that poster and thinking "wow, good point. let me right that number down so i can call them and get right with God."
i have long held to the belief that christians are guilty of missing the point.
sometimes it disturbs me how far off we are.
to think that displaying a eight by ten foot picture of hundreds of people dying glorifies Jesus in anyway.....
i dont know where God was on sept. 11.
i dont really even know where God is right now.
but i do know that wherever he is, he is not trying to scare us into serving him.
