Their cloths looked like they lived on the streets and they Reeked with BO. They said they had not ever been to church but felt something pulling them in to join.. The good Baptist were appalled!! The deacons called a meeting about this couple doesn’t belong in this church. I let them ramble and finally said my piece…I told them if any of them felt like this couple was beneath them, I’m at the wrong church…I asked them Would Jesus say they didn’t belong here? Needless to say, my tenure as a deacon and member of the Southern Baptist didn’t last long after that.



that's sad. the God of creation Jesus Christ would have sat with them and had fellowship with them.
the only time He hung around the legalist pharisees was to rebuke them.
