How to Alienate and Lose friends

How to Alienate and Lose friends- An orignal facebook post, but worth repeating it seems :) Still some folks of different strokes wanting to crucify me!

1) Talk about God... when they don't want to.
2) Make them feel like you have a hidden agenda.
3) Make them feel like you are ramming something down their throat.
4) Make them feel forced, manipulated, coerced.
5) Make them feel like you don't like them if they don't agree.
6) Say something at the wrong time, in the wrong place.
7) Not act like Jesus.


So interesting fact about point 7). Jesus did actually piss off and alienate some people, in fact people crucified him for that reason! But the difference between him and me is that he was actually perfect. Literally every second of his life was lived purely out of love.

I on the other hand am definitely not perfect. I make mistakes all the time. I am a sinner. So I am asking for forgiveness to anyone who I ever acted towards out of anything other than love. I am sorry.

So, this is the thing. There is one thing more important to me then you all. It's God and what he did for me through Jesus. So all this is going to continue to be the biggest and best part of my life right on past death. So if I ever act out of anything other then love, please let me know and I will stop. But if you think I am acting out of love for you... your choice is to cut me out or let me in. Christ never loved by force, and never will I.

With gratitude to be able to share life with you,
