hello church, would you like to meet Jesus?

After reading an article on Yahoos news page i feel sick and angry. I am sure there are more cases than just this and all of this is just insane. It's this whole issue where people from the Westboro Baptist Church of Topeka, Kan. are protesting soldiers funerals and homecomings. It's disgusting on so many levels and i want to yell and scream at them. I am all about peace. I am not war crazed by any means but let me allow God inspired words to speak for me:
                               
                                  There is an occasion for everything,
                                  and a time for every activity under heaven:

                                 a time to give birth and a time to die;
                                 a time to plant and a time to uproot; 

                                 a time to kill and a time to heal;
                                 a time to tear down and a time to build;

                                 a time to weep and a time to laugh;
                                 a time to mourn and a time to dance; 

                                 a time to throw stones and a time to gather stones;
                                 a time to embrace and a time to avoid embracing; 

                                 a time to search and a time to count as lost;
                                 a time to keep and a time to throw away;

                                 a time to tear and a time to sew;
                                 a time to be silent and a time to speak; 

                                 a time to love and a time to hate;
                                 a time for war and a time for peace. - Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

There is a time for everything....everything. I am just floored but the complete lack of biblical knowledge or their ability to ignore the what God's word says. I would love to say really demeaning things about this church and it's leadership staff but i will side with love and compassion on this. Not because i want to but because blasting them with my words is only sliding down to do exactly what they are doing. Instead i would like to highlight an attribute of the attributes of God that isn't being covered by the news.


 love. God is love. Apart from Him we know no love. His love flows through everything He does. But he also calls us to love so that He can be seen in us and be glorified.


This is my command: Love each other -John15:17


Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. The second is this: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.There is no commandment greater than these."- Matthew 12;30 & 31

And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ—to the glory and praise of God
-Philippians 1:9-11

Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins - 1 Peter 4:8

This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers. -1 John 3:16

Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love 1John4:8
