Lately I have held back from sharing much about what I call "faith with feet." By FwF I mean: Christians don't live in pews, but in the world. If our faith makes no difference in the world where we live it isn't much of a faith. As a follower of Jesus, God has made you a new creature, dude! (or dudette!) The Holy Spirit lives inside of you! So bear fruit worthy of this new life.
I have quoted Dave Barnhart here before. His take on Glen Beck's latest tomfoolery is full of wit.
Since Glenn Beck keeps ranting about left-leaning Christians* who use the word “social justice” to advance their agenda, I thought I’d also point out a few other groups who have infiltrated the church, many of whom use the Bible to support their agendas:
18. White Supremacists
17. Atheists
16. Pagans
15. Right-wing Tea-party Fruitcakes
14. Pedophiles
13. New Agey Crystal-Wearing Vegans
12. Labor Unions
11. Jerks
10. Libertarians
9. Glenn Beck Listeners
8. Self-avowed, Practicing Gays and Lesbians
7. Self-avowed, Practicing Homophobes
6. Self-avowed, Practicing Evangelicals
5. Unreformed Calvinists
4. Unrepentant Arminians
3. Closet Papists
2. Sinners
1. Christians
These people are inside your church! Some of them are clergy! Scary!

*He didn’t actually say "left-leaning" - he said "communist" and "Nazi." That’s part of what makes this particularly dishonest. He knows very well what he’s talking about: Christians who support healthcare reform and justice for the poor because they believe in the Biblical mandate to love their neighbor with more than superficial charity.
I really hope he keeps talking about this. The more he talks the more transparent he becomes.Posted by Dave on 03/12 at 11:16 AM
