A Layman’s Thoughts

Holly over at Seeking Faithfulness appears to have decided to cease blogging–at least for a while. One of the things she says factored into her decision is that no matter what she wrote, someone took offense. You can see the post here: Slow Death of a Blog

I want to state for the record here that though there are many who profess to follow Jesus Chirst, yet do not understand grace or the freedom we have in Christ, Holly is not one of them. She really gets it, and I am ashamed of the “Christians” who read her blog and then take offense at her comments.

People get offended for one reason–THEY CHOOSE TO BE OFFENDED. Honestly, we should all quit with this politically correct trash and remember not to think of ourselves more hightly than we ought to think, as Paul (inspired by the Holy Spirit Himself) told us in Romans 12:3 “For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.” (KJV)

Personally, I am inclined to agree with Brad Stine, a Christian comedian, who says on his latest DVD “Wussification” that he has decided to be offended by offended people.

Honestly people; get over it. Or as Mr. Stine would say, “PUT A HELMET ON!”
