Christian mocking....
It's been jokingly said, "I love humanity. It's people I can't stand." The Pharisees acted out a similar idea, but it wasn't funny. In 1 Corinthians 13:5 says "Love does not act unbecomingly"; which means a Christian should demonstrate godly love and have real credibility. Our credibility is personal evangelism. Be zealous for God but at the same time, you have to understand that being zealous without sensitivity can cause strife. There are Christians who are zealous for the Lord and forget the sensitivity of humanity. Trust God to use us they way He intended to use us. If He wants to heal us, He will. If He does not want to heal us because He wants to use us for His ministry, we will let Him. When we accepted Christ as our Savior, Christ became our LORD and we give ourselves to HIM (see Romans 12:1-8).
Devi's beatitudes:
Blessed are they who mock, for they cause strife and divisions that please me. Blessed are they who are easily offended, for they soon get angry and quit. Blessed is the church member who expects to be invited to his own church for he is part of the problem instead of the solution.
In 2 Timothy 4:3, "For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear."
