Another Thought for Discussion...

The more I read this book about U2, the more I feel like I've finally found someone who feels just like I feel about so many different issues...

Here's another thought I'd like to open up for discussion...please give me your comments, opinions, etc. This passage really makes me think about how I view people!

"Bono speaks of grace being the great attraction to Christianity. Then he says he'd like to be a Christian but could never shape up or that he is a bad example of Christianity. Either he is trying to deflect the press's ability to pigeon-hole him, or he has been duped about what a Christian is...He pushed back his career and new album by more than a year to try to rid the Third World of crippling debts, keep the poor alive, and restore equality and justice to the world. And he says he is not a good example for Christ. Jesus told a parable about the Kingdom of God where the sheep enter the Kingdom, and the goats are left outside (Matt. 25:31-46). Jesus didn't say the goats smoked, drank, or swore too much. He said they didn't get involved in changing the circumstances of the marginalized by feeding them when they were hungry and visiting them in prison. These were the issues of His Kingdom."

Wow...
