Whatsamatta? Chicken?

I am glad that the fracas over the Chick-fil-A debicle is starting to settle down. For the record, I can't even remember the last time I ate at Chick-fil-A. Even so, I have no interest in involving myself in politics, Christian or otherwise.

What concerns me though is what Jesus would think about the whole matter. Jesus said that the way we others is the way we treat Him. Read Matthew 25. We don't even have to do anything bad to others to incur His wrath. Its enough just to fail respond to the needs of others. "What you do to one of these, you have done to Me". Understand that those who murdered Matthew Shepard murdered Jesus.

Thats what bothers me about all those people who supported Don Cathy. Nowhere in the scripture does it ever say it is our job to bring God's wrath against anyone. It isn't. It is our job to bring God's love to everyone whom we encounter.
