I was thinking about the Bible. I love the Word of God. It\u2019s just like real life. Jesus was and still is so misunderstood by people. Lately on social media there has been this \u201cMedia Controversy\u201d about the Starbuck\u2019s plain red holiday cup.<\/span><\/p>\n

Frankly I\u2019m disappointed to see my unbeliever friends posting mean things about Christians. The truth is we Christians don\u2019t care about the red cup. Let me say that again. WE DON\u2019T CARE. The media has told you we are all outraged. It is a lie. We don\u2019t care.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve seen mean snarky posts about how Christians should be caring about the homeless, and doing things for others. In my general experience, those are the things we do care about.<\/p>\n

When we see a news story about murder our hearts break. When we see a news story about another school shooting we hug our kids tighter. When we see another family ruined by a stupid drunk driver, we pray. When we see a homeless man taking shelter from the rain under a grocery store awning, we buy him a sandwich and a 7-Up. This winter my church is filling backpacks with rain ponchos, clean socks and other necessities for the homeless in our community.<\/span><\/p>\n

When we see a news story about Starbuck\u2019s red cups, we don\u2019t care. Shame on the media for manufacturing \u201cnews.\u201d For taking one guy who made one comment and turning it into collective Christian \u201coutrage.\u201d Shame on any of you who think any Christian you know cares about the red cup. Stop being so mean. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
