Confession. I hate pious christians in their sunday best, believing they must be doing things right because they have a great job and a healthy family and position in the church. I hate them and its wrong. I think they are sinning, not more than I sin. But somehow I hate it more than my own sin. It's so proud and powerful. It disgusts me, makes me angry. It makes me feel as angry as they look when they see a poor person or hear someone using "colorful " language. I really hate them. I know that is not Christ in me. But I want them to be put in their place. I want them called on the carpet. I want things brought to light. I want the repentence they demand from the "social sinners" of our day. Especially the pastors, Lord especially them. I want them dragged before their own courts of Gossip and shamed. whew im really mad. It seems the Gospel will never prevail with them around. They twist the gospel, tainting it with their own twisted morality. Thats why I dont go to church. Those people always end up in the power positions. They make the decisions. I hate them. God help me hate the sin and not them. Give me wisdom to know the difference and help me love them. But please if there is any way for me to do that and not have to go to their stupid meetings id like to do it that way.
