Our guest pastor last weekend was the enlightening and refreshing Charlotte Gamble. She spoke about the 'volunteer spirit' and the 'body' of the church 'flexing' all it's muscles. She was so direct and didn't seem to hold anything back, my kinda girl (a lion). She also talked about not having your feelings hurt so easily, '...get over it if they don't play your favorite song on Sunday morning.' She was great, I may have to go visit her church in the UK so I can hear her again.
She got me thinking about how easily offended people are. I had lunch with a girl the other day who said to me, "Christians can't really be offended." I LOVED this... because she is right! If we are doing God's will, serving in his army, and following the call of Jesus Christ - then it doesn't matter what anyone thinks. Obviously we can all have our feelings hurt, especially by the ones we love, but it's good to remember who's opinion really matters.
Lions - Flex your muscles and brush off the negative opinions.
