Calling All DGD's

We played the flute for you,
and you did not dance;
we sang a dirge,
and you did not mourn.

What label would you be more comfortable with? Would you like to be called a demon, a drunk or a glutton? Would you like to be called a friend to iv drug users and queers? Are you now? Should you be?

I've had to defend the statements of some to my local flock about how they dared of a walk that would make people question their Christianity. This is so Jesus, that I'm surprised and saddened that most would miss it. The man-God himself had those that questioned Him and His lifestyle, so how could we even be so bold as to think that others couldn't/wouldn't/shouldn't question ours?

I'm almost of the mind that if others aren't questioning, then maybe we should be. Maybe we're too comfortable, too complacent and too self-centered in our religion to be accused of anything. I'd rather risk reaching out in a way that garners disdain, than appease those still trapped in tradition, made comatose by custom or lethargic in their liturgy.

Seek the Christ at all cost, I beg you. Once you find Him, follow Him with everything that is within you. Become the demonic, gluttonous drunk that He longs for you to be.

But wisdom is proved right by her actions.
