😡 Is OUTRAGE Good? 🧐

“Jesus entered the temple courts and drove out all who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves.” Matthew 21:12

Friends, I want you to think about something this week … and honestly, It’s not a comfortable thought. Are you ready?? OK, here we go ….

Jesus was OUTRAGED!! 😬

There I said it. And honestly, I don’t think there is ANY other way to see it! I mean, what else do you call it when a guy RAGES through a crowd with a whip … and in a CHURCH setting. Yikes 😳

OK, now think about something. Unless you were living under a rock last week, you saw or heard about the CONTROVERSY at the Olympics … but here’s the question: Did you have a right to be OUTRAGED?

I’m only asking this because of the incredible PUSHBACK many Christians received for their response to the show. Alright look, don’t act like you don’t know what I’m talking about. I’m talking about the DRAG QUEENS who openly mocked the Lord’s Supper, or, is that what actually happened?? 🤔

Then came the GASLIGHTING. You know, the “you-guys-are-CRAZY-and-INTOLERANT-because-this-was-actually-a-celebration-of-a-PAGAN-FESTIVAL” excuse. Wow, that’s a lot of hyphens!

Now, assuming this is true for a moment (and honestly, Christians shouldn’t be that naïve), why does it matter?? And do we still have a right to be outraged?? If you want my view watch my latest video linked 👇 and have a great Lord’s Day friends 😀

Application:

Should Christians share Jesus’ zeal towards blasphemy?

What would be an appropriate time or place for a Christian to confront it?

What do you think happens in a community when Christians remain silent?
