    I'm so glad you brought that up. The ones who do charity as long as they get some kind of credit, are hypocrites. They only want to be seen and praised for their deeds.

    Remember: Do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing.

    Jesus rebuked the Pharisee for that exact mentality.

    For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith - and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God - not by works, so that no one can boast.

    A Government big enough to give you anything you want, is also big enough to take away everything you have

    I wanted my friend to know that Christianity is not helping at a food bank, although born-again Christians have a strong tendency to be charitable when they are able. And you know what? I wonder how many food banks my friend, any of the other liberals that keep regurgitating these talking points, has been to. The thing is, a lot of these people were probably on their lunch breaks. Actually, I bet a lot of them had to use personal breaks (or even personal vacation time!) just to get food and support Chick-fil-A. The Lefties don't know how many of the people in the pictures volunteer and give to charity when they have time (since these people work and can't afford to sit at home and pontificate all day) so they really are in position to criticize anyone. Couldn't that rat fink executive who bothered the cashier go volunteer at a food bank and be all "loving" there? Of course not because that was true hatred. In fact, I would wager that as a group the people who visited Chick-fil-A are the kindest, most giving individuals in America. I've been to tea party rallies and they're the same way. The people are kind and considerate; they're not the type of people who would spray "tastes like hate" on a wall or the kind of people who would harass a cashier in a drive-through.
    Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Hebrews 11:1

    In the event of darkness, depression, sadness, or loneliness, your Bible can be used as a flotation device.

    I like that! Thanks!

    What a coincidence, I had just finished reading this thread, then thought I'd check FB and see if any of my friends had posted this. Lo and behold, a good friend had just posted it a few minutes before! No comments under it yet, so, inspired by what I'd just read here, I commented, "Maybe the crowd planning the Kiss-In today could go over there instead and show how it's done?" Hoping that doesn't sound snide, it's a friend I have witnessed to on several occasions. We chat on FB several times a week, so this may lead to a discussion. She knows my stand on the Bible but we have never discussed gays, only who Jesus is/salvation, her Buddhism, and creation/evolution.

    I'm not sure if this has been posted yet, and I have no other reference than my local news station, but on the way home from work I heard that
    the guy who taped himself going thru the drive thru at CFA was fired from his job. Hmmmm....very interesting.

    MT 4:4 Jesus answered, "It is written: `Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.' "


    Even more sotoday than ever before we need to have Faith/Trust in God's Word and stand on that whatever evil comes our way, for our hope and our deliverance comes only from the Lord!

    My friend posted this on her FB page and said she dared anyone to say it isn't the truth. I normally don't respond to these useless debates, but where she posted the dare to all her friends, I felt she was challenging & mocking God.

    I prayed, and replied that" the majority of people who serviced Chick Fil A on appreciation day were there for the support of Free Speech. Although I was there for free speech as well as support for my Christian Beliefs and I can honestly say that I do volunteer at a food bank. "

    It has been over a week and no one replied back to my response.

    Default My two cents

    I think we should be charitable and run food banks etc. but if I recall the only commandment Christ gave us was the Great Commision. Another point I take from the photo and the impression of the left that is this. When the prostitute bathed Jesus' feet with the expensive perfume Judas got upset and stated that they could have given the money to the poor. What did Jesus say, "The poor will always be with you." The author of the photo shows his lack of understanding of the bible. We need to give credit where credit is due, it is not about us, gays, the poor, it is about serving and worshiping Christ, if you do that, you can't go wrong.

    Personally, if I had millions to give, I would give it to a Christian orginization that spred the gospel that also helped the poor rather than a political group. Just my opinion. Denny
