Today when I was shopping. . . .

Sorhors and Friends,

Today when I was coming out of the Staples/Safeway shopping complex in Falls Church, VA. there were these two young African American teens asking for financial support for their youth church group. And of course, they asked me for a donation; however, I didn't give the donation for several reasons. Number one that local church should set aside funds to support that particular ministry. I just feel that if the members paid their tithes and gave God from their first fruits those teens wouldn't have to stand out and beg for a helping hand from the local community.
My other problem with these young brothers was their appearance. I can't believe that they would represent God looking like the biggest thugs. What a horrible misrepresentation of Christianity and God. I know that a popular church saying is "Who so ever will let him come," however, I don't think that He wants us to represent Him looking like America's Most Wanted.

If this offends some folks I'm not sorry for the way that I feel about fellow believers that misrepresent God and the body of Christ.

I just had to get that off my mind!
