Today God revealed something to me about my personality that I've never thought about before. Lately I've become very annoyed by people, specifically Christians, that I label as flaky. For reason of not offending my readers, I'll skip the details, but I think you all know the kind of people I'm talking about. Basically, the ones that stand in the way of Christianity being cool and marketable. God showed me that I've gotten to the point where I detest their flakiness even more than sinfulness, and that's where the problem lies.
There are two things about flaky people that I've come to realize: First, these people mean well. They just want to serve God the best way they know how. Second, some people are actually ministered to by their lives. Albeit, most of those people are flaky too, but that doesn't mean it's not ministry. I can't discredit a certain style of ministry just because I don't like it, or because I think it's cheesy. I'm just hurting myself, and my relationship with God, for saying bad things about these types of people... because inconceivable as it is to me, God may have actually told these people to do what they're doing, and who am I to say otherwise?
Anyhow, in summary, I'd like to say that flaky people aren't so bad. They may annoy me, and there's no stopping that, but I'll keep my annoyance to myself and realize that God still has a place for them, just like the place he has for me.
