Offend the Right People

"If you're gonna give Jesus a bad name... please, at least do it for the right reasons! And please offend the right people! The people who should be offended by Jesus are not "sinners". While sinners flocked to Jesus, it was the Pharisee-types, the duty-driven, finger-pointing, behavior-based people who couldn't stand Him.

The self-righteous performance-based religious people are the ones who should rightly have a problem with the unconditional-lover of the world. If we're gonna turn anyone off, let's do it the way it should be... by loving and accepting others and showing them how God loves and accepts them, thereby offending the ones who truly should be offended by the gospel."

- Joel Brueseke
