Open that mouth of yours...

You blind guides! You strain out a gnat but swallow a camel.
-Matt. 23:24

There are so many things that seem to fit in this category in the church today. Sometimes I just hang my head in frustration and shame as I listen to and watch the nuckleheaded things we christians get all stirred up about.

We really are goofy at times. In light of all the real problems in this world and community, i shudder to think what the Lord feels about our preoccupation with swallowing camels.

I read a story recently about an inner city young mother who super glued her young child's eyes and mouth shut to keep him from crying at night because her mother was going to kick them out because of the noise.

Swallow that.
