1. People who put up “clever” church signs, but can’t take a lil heat from passers by.
– If you put something on your sign in front of your church, and it could be taken the wrong made, be seen as cheesy, or any other combination of things, then you should be prepared to take some criticism. I’m not telling you to not do it, but I’m saying you should be ready to take the good and the bad.
2. People who drive like they are the only person out there.
– I saw a dude yesterday who was in line in a turn lane, jump in front of at least 4 cars because he was tired of waiting. He almost made 2 others wreck. Gotta love selfish instincts.
3. People who play worship songs at shows.
– What I mean by this is when people play worship songs at a club or a coffee house, but it’s obvious there’s no passion about it. Its just another song they are singing. And it’s evident. That really irks me.
4. People who serve to get something.
– It’s still serving, but you’re serving yourself, not God. I’ve seen many different kinds of volunteers. What gets scary is when you can tell that someone is there to get something. Whether it be the satisfaction of doing something or getting a date with that other cute volunteer, dirty motives become obvious very quickly.
5. People who mock the sanctity of LOST.
– I mean, come on people, are you serious? LOST is maybe one of the best shows that has been on TV in a while. How many shows do you know that can introduce time travel in a way that almost makes sense . . . almost.
But . . .
I’m praying that these things, and many, many, many others, are taken off my heart. I don’t want to become a cynical person. I think it is good to be observant and to know your likes and dislikes, but I don’t want to be in a place where I’m always judging or always analyzing. I only want to observe and critique with the heart of the other person in mind. I only want to help them become more like the person God is calling them to be. That is my prayer.
