How unconditional is our love supposed to be? Is it okay for us to not love gay people cause they're different? Or not love musilms cause a small percentage of them are terrorists? Or not love our brother cause he kicked you in the nuts? I mean -where do we draw the line?
This is something that always blows me away about Jesus - He truly loved everyone, He didn't like everyone, but He clearly expressed His love for everyone. People would interrupt Him in the middle of important sermons by lowering their friends through a roof and setting him right in front of Jesus - did He get pissed? No, praised them, He showed them love. What about the time when the disciples had little faith when they were with Jesus in the storm - did He chastise them? Nope, He encouraged them, He showed them love. Or what about when He was hanging on the cross dying for our sins, did He curse us for putting Him through that? No, he encouraged the thrives next to Him, He showed them love.
So where do we draw the line? No where. Somewhere along the line we decided that we could put conditions on our unconditional love - and I'm trying to change that - in myself.

About Me
- Eric
- I will always be much younger at heart than I am on paper. My desire for adventure can never be quenched. To call myself a Christian would be placing beliefs into a box, and my beliefs by no means fit inside any box. My faith is simple, I love Jesus. How I use that may be less than conventional or typical, I'm okay with that. I'm wrong quite often, I'll be the first to admit it when I am. I believe that if you aren't willing to fight for what you believe is right, you're being useless. This blog is where I will write things that span from pointless to controversial. I hope to grow through it.
