Preface

Many people will ask “why write this kind of blog?”

I guess I can answer that by sharing a statement that I heard my father use in argument with many a person so long ago…

The missionaries, with their long sleeved shirts and ties, with their big “King James” Bibles would be talking to a non-Christian person about God about heaven, hell and the plan of salvation and inevitably “The Hell bound Lost person who is headed to eternal damnation” would say “Well… don’t all religions teach us to do good?”
And even today I can hear the response ringing in my ears “Yes!” they would say sarcastically “But you’re not good are you… So what good is your religion?”

Hmm.

Let me ask a question… If we were to look around at the majority of churches and places of worship and look beyond each of the seemingly endless denominations, the cool names on the signs, the big crosses, the steeples, the big choirs, the expensive hairdo’s, the flashy personalities, the screaming red faced evangelists, or for that matter the flip-flop wearing, relaxed, contemporary preachers of the modern day, if we could see beyond the flashing strobe lights, and the fog machines, or how about the strange tongue speaking head smacking healers, if we could see through the diamond wearing, ritzy car driving, money hungry televangelist…

If we could look beyond all that and ask the question…

“If you all teach us to do good then why aren’t you good?"
