I guess this is a follow on from my response to xxxchurch’s idea of giving flowers to local strippers on valentines to show God’s love rather than moaning about the strip clubs being there and it’s got me thinking…

What if Christians were more positive in their actions? I’m not saying aquire an ‘anything goes’ attitude but let’s face it we cannot stop casino’s being built, strip clubs being built or other things so let’s do what, I believe God’s done all throughout time and ‘make the best of a bad situation’

This could be church’s offering debt counciling as a positive response to casino’s, it could be sending flowers to strippers but at the very least it should be less moaning and more positive responses, I don’t know how it would work but it’s just an idea. Lot’s of uni’s seem to have a ‘hand water to the drunks or coffee’ as a loving response to the alocoholism promoted at uni’s rather than making sandwich boards and marching round saying ’stop the drinking’, and yes I tend to think of that kinda idea as a bit silly and don’t always see how it could help but it’s much better than complaining.

Tim meantioned an idea about Park Road a while ago of opening it when the clubs turn out for people to come into and recover, to come into and have a taxi sorted out, to come in to be protected and make the church a place where people can go to for help in our night-club society which I think’s pretty cool as an idea!

I guess the point of this blog is to encourage you Christians to do something positive about situations rather than moan, by all means complain about laws which will make us compromise our beliefs but when it comes to strip clubs, casino’s and the like do something positive and show the love of Jesus, Jesus went out to the prostitutes and the dishonest tax collectors and did something positive so lets do that!
