I know this is a bit of an old post. I came across this while looking for Bible verses for my misguided brother. I have not found what I’m looking for, but I do have one more for this list:

If you do not take in consideration how your audience (not target audience, but actual audience) is perceiving your actions or words before expressing your faith to them, you might be misrepresenting God.

Another version might be:

If you equate being offended by your words or actions with being offended by your faith, you might be misrepresenting God.

Please explain this one….

If you believe that leaving the institutional church is what the writer of Hebrews meant when he wrote, “Do not forsake the assembling of yourselves together”, you might be misrepresenting God.

So perhaps it is possible that many miracles are not being performed here in the west, even by people of great faith, because there is a tremendous amount of unbelief toward those things.

hey steve
i was duped when i was younger
republican party is not synonymous with being a christian
the republican may have some christians
but so does the democratic
i totally got that line and 100% relate
republican does mean christian party

where have you been all my life
i am not kidding
i have struggled with every line of this in my life
i stopped going to church because i have met too many christians in my life who did every line in this to me and act if not insist something is wrong with me and not with them
i know the battle is not against flesh and blood
but still the devil has help- some christians have been the most hurtful and hateful poeple in my life
using gods name to further their opinions
proverbs 3:5 states lean no on your own understanding but i have also learned not to lean on anyone elses – christians are not god
never have been arent and never will be
i myself have been thinking about this
we are instructed not to bear false witness against our neighbor
i have met “christians” who have bore false witness against god – i am single at 35
i was told god called me to be single to serve him instead
i cant have kids
i was told god wanted me to adopt so made the
choice easier – ok do some christians not realize they dont know gods motives on anything let alone a person they dont know
sorry to say this but after meeting so many bad christians – i kind of get why christians were persecuted back then because too many have persecuted me – i even went to therapy to try to sort it out – christians – not atheists – have stolen hope, any reason to believe good things will happen to be because its just not gods will for me – i know the batte is not against flesh and blood – but to all you bad christians
ill let god decide if you are christian
i forgive you but i need to forget you as well
and your junk you put in my mind
and also
listen to the eagles – get over it
because you bad christians who spoke for god
youre not god get over it!!!!!!!

As a person who has heard George Bush (the first one) preached as “God’s man for America, I agreed with most of these statements years ago, but have never seen them so well articulated.

It’s too bad that it’s hard to find a single church that just fits everyone. Or maybe it’s me that doesn’t fit.

Glad you said “might” each time. Most of your statements are spot on as the British say. God Bless you.

This post may have been useful 20 years ago.
But the modern church has is far from being legally bound by the moral law.

Too much freedom is just as fatal as too much law.

Having seen both sides, this comes across a bit to liberal, emergent wishy washy.

Seek hard after righteousness
