I went to church and was told things about God that I never knew before. I was told there are 5 things God really cares about, and that it is my job to make sure that God gets what God wants.
This is God’s new list: 1. Border Security 2. Religious Liberty 3. Biological Sex 4. Family 5. Issue of Life
I miss the old God, the one who believed in love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.
I miss the God who who warned us against sexual immorality, impurity, debauchery, idolatry, hatred, discord, jealousy, and fits of rage.
I miss the God whose son refused to get involved in politics, even when his followers urged him to do so, the one who looked into the face of Pontius Pilate and said, “My kingdom is not of this world.”
Did God change his mind?
When did that happen, and why am I only just now being informed?
I remember the God whose son shouted at the religious leaders of his day, ‘You have replaced the commandments of God with the traditions of men!’
