We are FREE Christians
Things overheard in an elevator…
Elevator opens at floor 3 and I get on. Elevator door closes. Three guys are already in the elevator, engaged in conversation.
Guy #1: “Yeah, we’re FREE Christians.”
Guy #2: “So, what does that mean? I mean, do you celebrate Ash Wednesday, for example?”
Guy #1: “No. We don’t believe in any of that stuff. We are FREE Christians. No water, no wine, no bread, no ashes, no Lord’s Prayer…none of that stuff. We just believe in Jesus.”
Elevator opens at floor 1. I decide to just walk away. I did briefly fight the urge to turn and comment, “Ummm. Jesus himself gave us the Lord’s Prayer. It’s right there in your Bible.” But I was a little tense by that point and figured nothing intelligent would have come actually come out of my mouth. Now I sit here at my desk, my mind nearly numb with that guy’s comments.
