A Broken Christianity

Please, church can we just love each other?

A Broken Christianity.

How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity!

- Psalm 133:1

Hear me please church.

We are not a people united.

We have become so broken and that is breaking me.

I once read a book by Perry Stone and he talked about how Satan and his demons are more organized than we are as Christians and that wrecked me.

Satan and his demons have three goals: steal, kill, and destroy.

It should also be that simple for us, we were told to love our neighbor and go make disciples.

Why are we not focused?

Why are we not as organized as the Devil?

Why do we not love our neighbor?

We as a church have fallen apart.

We are broken into denominations and arguing over whether we should be drinking grape juice or wine at communion when that is far from the point.

Please church can we love each other? How are we going to be able to love the lost if we can’t even love ourselves as one people.

We serve the same good Father, can we just rejoice in that together?

Is our God not bigger than our differences?

Just for a moment can we stop being a religion and be a faith? Just for a moment can we make Him greater as we become less? Just for one single moment can we swallow our pride and love our brothers and sisters?

Church, hear this. As Jesus was dying, after He was nailed to a tree, He looked at us then to His Father and said, “Forgive them, they know not what they do.” If Jesus can love the ones who ripped flesh from His back and hammered nails into His hands, why can’t we love the ones who disagree with us but love the same God? Do you see how small it is to hate your fellow Christian?

Please, church feel convicted because my heart is in pieces over this.

My dear brother,

My dear sister,

I do not care who you voted for,

I do not care what denomination you are,

I love you more than I could ever put into words.

Will you give love in return? Will you love me despite what we may agree or disagree on? Will you take my hand and bow with me? Please, will you just love Jesus with me?

And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love.

- 1 Corinthians 13:13

10 Truths About Being In A Sorority

(For Girls Who Are Interested In Greek Life)

Sorority
Rebekah Lee

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.

Tiana would no doubt be disappointed in the food our cafeteria has to offer.

And hopefully she would cook for everyone in her dorm.

She definitley would not take any 8:00 am classes because she would be up late baking and cleaning up the communal kitchen that are available in every dorm.
