Be careful!

Matt 12:31 - And so I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven.

I was watching "Last Comic Standing" on television when a comedy duo calling itself "God's Pottery" came on. At first, I thought that it may be a performance in the Mark Lowry vein; godly, but very VERY funny, but then I realized that their entire purpose was to mock people of faith, ESPECIALLY people who are overtly Christian and don't mind showing it!

Hebrews 10:28 Anyone who rejected the law of Moses died without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. 29How much more severely do you think a man deserves to be punished who has trampled the Son of God under foot, who has treated as an unholy thing the blood of the covenant that sanctified him, and who has insulted the Spirit of grace? 30For we know him who said, "It is mine to avenge; I will repay," and again, "The Lord will judge his people." 31It is a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

Folks, it's not my place to judge and I certainly don't intend to come off that way, but it IS the place of a Christian brother (if these fellows consider themselves to be Christian) to let them know that their schtick is offensive to Christian believers and that Christians don't think that a wholesome lifestyle, good, gospel-based lifestyle choices, or showing the joy of Jesus is something to be ashamed of and certainly not something to make fun of in others!

Are you sure they are making fun of Christians... they are but not in a mean spirited way. The joke is just as people make fun of themselves to be more likable. I have not heard of them breaking this "shtick" and they have said nothing bad about faith or Christian beliefs.

I assume they are a hyperbole to make everyone think again about Christians and Christian beliefs, but no one ever has been able to get a room full of people (regardless of beliefs) to sing along about loving Jesus.

Regardless of their convictions, they are spreading religious thought better than anyone else has ever done. I pray they continue their great works.
