This post might cost me a buyer or a seller but I have always been a person that speaks their mind. I believe in standing up and saying what you believe. This is just my opinion and my believe. You decide yourself. This week is the Livonia Spree. It is our local carnival.
I have to cut to the chase and put a local church on the shame list. Christ the Savior Lutheran Church is located right next to the Livonia spree. Tonight there were no church services when I was there. There were about 5 cars in the parking lot. They had the entrance blocked off with two guards stopping from coming in. Only people with parking passes could come in.
What does that mean?
I guess you had to be a member of the church to park there. There was no Christian spirit in regards to parking at this Livonia Lutheran Church. If they didn't know it was Jesus Christ came to the church he wouldn't be able to park at Christ the Savior Lutheran Church in Livonia.
You see I don't believe that Jesus has a sign that announces his presence. But I believe that we must share what we have. I especially believe you should share when you have no use for it. It is like the neighbor that says sorry my saw is broken when he doesn't want to loan it out. All the parking spaces that Christ the Savior Lutheran Church won't share for Livonia residents and others that want to go to the spree. They say the greatest amongst us is the one that shares what little they have.
There were older people that were walking longer distances. Mothers with strollers walking from farther away. But to share a unused parking space no way!
And the liability reason doesn't work for me and it shouldn't work for them. How many doctors and nurses stop at accident sites to help people when there is tremendous liability. How many people risk their life when there is liability. Again I believe Jesus rewards people who put it on the line to share to help. In this modern world we can always find a reason not to be Christian.
- too busy.... with work.... with family... had to be somewhere
- too little money
- too much liability
- make too much work
There is always an excuse not to do the right thing.
Somehow Christ the Savior Lutheran Church Livonia MI loves to preach a message but doesn't practice what it preaches. A shame I think. I'm sure they might be passing the plate this weekend to get money. But to share a unused parking space no way.
Not real Christian Like. I went to a church that had a congested parking lot. I remember the pastor telling people that the love and practices of Jesus didn't stay in the pews. That people shouldn't fight to get out of the parking lot. That they should not cut each other off.
I won't say that you are right or wrong but your actions speak louder than the words you preach.
