Butterfly Misses

Butterflies are very interesting. The float around on empty air and look very pretty. People find that interesting... but if you were to take a fake butterfly and a real butterfly to a child, the child would pick the fake butterfly becasue the colors are more elaborate or it's bigger than the real thing. The church is like that. We decide that we want the fake butterfly. The "butterfly" is not an actual butterfly mind you, it is just something that illustrates all the things that the Church would rather do and have more than they want Jesus. They put fake ideals and morals before the real Jesus. I find that wrong. Me? I want the real deal. Jesus is better than any fake butterfly.

This effects the Church greatly. Nowadays the Church goes for the fake "butterfly", the things that seem better and more cool than Jesus. They come in different forms though. One way that the church prefers the fake butterfly is when they burned bibles! The church believed that the King James Version was the only "true" bible so they burned a whole bunch of other bibles! Also, they are churches that except homosexuality. It says several times in the bible where that is wrong but still they do it. These things are unbiblical but they are becoming more and more popular. These are our fake butterflies.

That is a problem for me. I want the real butterfly before any fake one and I also want to show my real butterfly to my friends who don't believe. Now how do I do that? I show them forgiveness and love and try to be everything that the bible tells christians to be, but how do they respond? Usually they walk away, still walowing the disbelief and the void of emptiness. That is sad. They don't all see it that way though. Some see the real butterfly for what it is but have doubts about it because the church is playing with the fake butterfly. So how can we help them see? Without their consent, they never will.

We can't give up though. We must always try.
