Many gods in San Diego

Every morning I drive by a large idol of Buddha. It's in a private yard just off the main street. At the "French" bakery this morning I bought croissants for our staff meeting (I try to be nice when really I'm feeling a bit grouchy - the good overcomes the evil) and there were Hindu gods at the cash register and over the door. And private homeowners are not allowed to have Bible studies in their homes without a major use permit or they'll get fined. (I realize that's a bit of an oversimplification - there are parameters and issues about size, parking, etc). Churches in San Diego are regularly denied the possibility of buying property.

Our City needs Jesus. Our City needs Pastors and churches to stay, to continue, to stand and not give up. Our City needs Christians to permeate and influence and flavor society. Where is there evidence that we are here? (Thanking God right now for the crosses on our hills that have been hard-fought for).

Let's lift up Christ. Let's let our light shine. Let's be salty and relevant. Let's love, and learn how to love, our City.

Let's not waste our time in-fighting. Let's not waste our time figuring out how people are wrong, but let's let it be known God is right. Declare the goodness of God! Declare His goodness in your life, tell of His wonderful love! Let it be known who He is and what He has done. Don't let the hinderances and obstacles stop us from BEING CHRISTians. Love Him. Live Him. Share Him.
