at it again...

I heard that Westboro Baptist Church, is at it again. This time they are wanting to protest against the funeral of Heath Ledger, because he starred in the film, "Brokeback Mountain".
They say that the actor used his platform as a megaphone, to say that homosexuality is okay.

So what are they using their platform for? What are they screaming out of their megaphone?

This paints Christians in a bad light. No wonder some Americans want nothing to do with Christianity.

When I heard this I got angry. I know I had talked about this church in an earlier post ( called: "left a bad taste"), but I just couldn't sit quiet.



I know we are called to be people of action, but this seems to be to the extreme. What would make a bigger impact...saying you are wrong, or showing them the love of God.

For example, if a Homosexual had their house burned down. How would we win him to Christ? Do we say to him " You had that coming! You know that God hates gays!" Or do we help that person, get him cleaned up, give him a roof over his head, take him to the store and buy them some food and clothes? I think that would speak more.


There is an old saying, "Preach the good news to everyone and if necessary use words."



In other words let our lives, show people the love of God. "Let them see our good works and glorify our Father in Heaven." That would show them that there is something different about us. We would become a direct mirror of our Father in Heaven. We can either paint their view of Him in a negative or positive light.

This church has also posted that "Heath Ledger is in hell receiving his eternal reward."
This is disgusting to me. How dare they judge someones soul. No one but God knows where he is. The only way he is in hell is if he died without Christ and that is a TRAGEDY. It is not something to cheer about as though justice has been served.

What are we doing to show the world the love of Christ?

Are we furthering God's kingdom or our own?

Who are we glorifying...ourselves or God?
