Yet, nobody would dare oppose interracial marriage today and most religious folks have evolved past that. It's interesting that when interracial marriage was illegal, the Bible was also used as justification. As you can imagine, the same cast of characters constantly complain about same-sex couples being legally allowed to marry. Nobody is forcing them to marry someone of the same sex, either. What God has shown me about love is that he loves me regardless of when I disappointment, go back on my word, lie, hide from him, and more so who am I to not treat you with the same love and claim that I follow Christ? I could be wrong and I'm willing to be wrong but I feel like that's what he told me. This means that I'm just as human as you are and I'm not any more or less Christian or special because I'm celibate and you may not be. This means as God's daughter that I love how and who God tells me to love. I see sin the way The word of God tells me to and I see love the way the Word of God tells me to. Once again, my convictions have nothing to do with yours. That's God's job and it's completely unfair to try to place that standard on me that's impossible for me to keep and uphold. Please stop asking me for judgment when it's not my job to judge. "Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. "Do not judge, or you too will be judged. Let me apologize for people condemning and judging you if you have experienced this. I completely understand that if you go into Facebook groups or that if you go into certain churches that people will condemn you left and right for fornication. I do not spend my day thinking about the sexual morality of others. As he shook each of our hands, he said, “I’ll see you at the Great White throne.” I don’t know why, but his words have stuck with me through all these years.Ĭonfession #3. I don’t remember much about my conversation with Rainbow, but I remember two things distinctly: how easy it was for us to connect, despite our differences, and his parting words to me and some other worship team members. At one point, we just talked to the people. We were there for at least six hours, so we rotated jobs a lot. Our church worship team left from our church early one Sunday morning to assist the shelter in their Sunday proceedings, which included riding the buses to pick up the homeless from around Atlanta, serving breakfast, handing out clothes and toiletries before they showered, sitting and talking with them while they waited to see a doctor, and lastly, worshipping.
We had to write about someone who had impacted our life in some way, and I wrote about Rainbow, a homeless man I met while volunteering at Rescue Atlanta, a homeless shelter. ‘Andy’ has a calming voice and they are short enough to try and succeed.Writing this, I recall a paper I wrote my sophomore year in high school. “Simple meditation if you have ever wanted to try and don’t know where to start.
