Stinky Christian Bullies

Sometimes we act like it’s a contest…

Where we win by being the loudest, biggest, strongest, most obnoxious kid on the block.

When “they” do something we don’t like, “we” do something back.

Kinda like when “they” said mean things about the Christian fried chicken man…

And “we” stage a National Buy Christian Fried Chicken Day.

Neiner neiner neiner.

You stuck your tongue out at me, so I’ll stick my tongue out at you.

You pushed me, so I’ll push you.

Extreme examples of this turn to violence (abortion clinic bombings).

When we act like it’s a contest, we become Christian bullies.

Stinky Christian bullies.

Jesus said, “You’re blessed when you are mocked, misunderstood, and mistreated for choosing what’s right. God’s Kingdom belongs to you.” (Matthew 5.10)

We are blessed when we choose what’s right and get bullied for it.

It doesn’t say, “When others choose what’s wrong, bully them until they get it right.”

The blessing isn’t for bullies.

The blessing is for those who choose what’s right, take shots for doing what’s right, and keep doing what’s right.

Media blitzes and protests aren’t the answer. Just doing what’s right—that’s the answer.

Pushing back isn’t winning….

Because the blessing isn’t for bullies—even Christian ones.
