Christian Houses
Is it just me, or do those groups who trumpet most loudly how they are "Christian" seem very un-Christian in their attitude, their approach, and their appaling conviction of smug superiority? I am reminded of the Parable of the Pharasee and the Publican. As I recall, one thing the Lord was not too keen on was hypocracy and these outfits seem to fit that description. On my campus we had a couple of groups who were very vocal in their observance of the trappings of their Christianity, but were highly judgemental and narrowly disapproving of anyone and any organization not conforming to their view of "Christianity". I grew up believing that the message of Christ was reconcilliation, forgiveness, inclusiveness, and redemption, not smug conviction of one's own rightness, which I believe was referred to as the deadly sin of presumption.
