a lack of love

Dear fellow-Christian, if you talk about gays and say they are gross or freaks and they should shoot themselves, burn themselves, hang themselves or kill themselves in other ways - shame on you. 

Dear fellow-Christian, if you gossip behind your church mates and say bad things behind their backs, at the same time perhaps pretending to smile and wishing blessings to that same person - shame on you. 

Dear fellow-Christian, if you serve God only on Sundays and yes, sometimes during the week at home groups, youth events, prayer events or other holy events, but at other times you get drunk, smoke, chase after girls or boys, sleep around, curse or just don't care about any of it, and on the holy days you put your holy face on and pray and feel bad for all the sinners who live such terrible lives compared to you, but who actually live the same life as you, except they don't come to church... Shame on you. 

Dear fellow-Christian, if you ignore Jesus's greatest command - to love each other - shame on you. 

Did Jesus tell us to love everyone, except if they are homosexual, or politicians, non-Christians, bad Christians, the wrong nationality, gender or race, wrong profession, poor, too rich or just different from you? Nope. 

Jesus said (John 13:34): "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another."

Jesus said  (Matthew 22:37-39): “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.'"

Jesus said (Matthew 5:22): But I tell you that anyone who is angry with a brother or sister will be subject to judgment. Again, anyone who says to a brother or sister, ‘Raca,’ is answerable to the court. And anyone who says, ‘You fool!’ will be in danger of the fire of hell."

Jesus said (John 13:35): "By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”

The Bible says (1 John 4:19): "We love because he first loved us."

And finally the Bible says (Micah 6:8): "He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God."

Jesus has shown us what is good. People, it seems, are just a little bit daft.
