"Christian" pressures

My friend Joy got me to watch the Netflix series called "The Family."  It is about a very Christian group, that is also very manipulative.

I thought of the manipulations and pressures that I have seen over the years... [and this list is just the tip of the iceberg...]

Trying to get people to think like we do.
Trying to get them to go to church.
Trying to get them to join the church.
Trying to get them to give money.
Trying to get them to change in some way so that they would fit better into our scheme of what a good Christian looks like.
[several of the above are good for the organized church, but they are not the main thing.]

What if we just loved people?
What if we stopped worrying about our kids and grand kids and just loved them.
What if we just loved people.

It's a beautiful day in God's world be sure to see the good.
