Back when I was in the Army, there was a saying that you could find in many places, including on T-shirts that went: "Kill'em All...Let God Sort'em Out."
Now that I've traded in my weapons for a Bible, I have come up with what I think is a more biblical philosophy..."LOVE'M All, Let God Sort Them Out. For as a former Warrior for Uncle Sam, I could understand the former sentiment; now, as a Warrior in God's Army, I must embrace the latter sentiment.
When Jesus told us to love our neighbor, he didn't give us any wishy washy qualifiers. He didn't say love this one, but not that one...He simply told us to love our neighbor, and since He didn't set any limits, neither can I.
So, if you are poor and broken; I love you. If you are rich and powerful, I love you too. If you are homosexual, I love you; if you are enjoying the straight life, I love you too. No matter who you are and from what background you have, I love you, because my Master taught me to.
Go ahead and try it...LOVEM ALL AND LET GOD SORT THEM OUT!
May God's Grace AND Love Be with You,
Fr Charles
