Pin the Tail on the Sheep

People who do not believe are quick to point out errors of Christians, seeming inconsistencies in various teachings and conflicts between denominations. They are sheep examiners and find fault with the apparent weaknesses of those who follow Jesus. In their ridicule, criticism and mocking they miss looking at Jesus directly.

Jesus said, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink. He who believes in me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water” (John 7:38). Only Jesus can quench our thirst for truth, peace and joy.

We love each other. We do not follow one another. We follow Christ, or at least that is who we are supposed to be following.
