If you are not a Christian this might not be your cup of tea. But I read a blog that Kenne wrote about the old rugged cross and the words " On a hill....I Will Cling to the Old Rugged Cross, and exchange it some day for a crown". http://www.cyberhymnal.org/htm/o/r/oruggedc.htm
I couldn't agree more with his article. I have often wondered why Christians run away from some of those words that the Bible clearly prescribes and some inspiring spiritual songs teach us. I have been in situations where some of my friends said I followed Christ because I'm frustrated. When I said I was they got more confused and I had to explain that Jesus called on all of us who are tired and are heavy laden to come to him to find rest.
We sing the Old Rugged Cross everyday and yet when someone says we cling to religion, it becomes an abomination. If the cross is an emblem of suffering and Jesus says we should put our burdens on that cross to find rest, why shouldn't Christians cling to that which gives them peace?
I am not surprised that the faint hearted and the church-goers are fueling this issue just to win votes. Honestly, if they are real Christians, they would not be using this issue to gain votes and run away from the TRUTH which is what sets us free. As Christians, we know "Jesus is the way, the TRUTH and the light."
If anyone claims he/she is a Christian and runs away from the truth, we know who they are running away from. So if HRC wants to continue blowing the horn of Christian retreat and call it BO's elitism, she would have to answer on Judgment day. I know truth is not one of her strong points and she is surrounded by people whose second nature is lying. It is unfortunate that they would manipulate Catholic blue collar workers in small towns that the government has virtually forgotten about and 35 years of so-called experience did not do anything to give them relief the last 20 years.
What a waste of energy! Let me ask a simple and truly innocent question: Is it elitism if we change our wardrobes to at least look good? I get confused sometimes and think the TV network is repeating a showing except when I see that the name of the place changes. Margaret Thatcher was ‘an iron lady' but she did not lie and she looked ... Never mind!
