Well Played, "Playmakers"

First reaction: I'm highly upset that this even happened in any way shape or form...
Second reaction: What do I have the Holy Spirit for? Is this what people think about the church? Self-examination....
Well played Playmakers... well played.

Could you imagine if this was the extent of evangelism....? lol. We're quick to talk about how to change the methods of reaching the lost, but if we're aiming to walk in integrity, as Christians, inside and outside the four walls of the church for sake of being Christ's witnesses, then what would need to change on the inside first?

The biggest one that comes to my mind is, "So now I am giving you a new commandment: Love each other. Just as I have loved you, you should love each other. Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples." (John 13:34)
...and also

"Yes, there are many parts, but only one body. The eye can never say to the hand, “I don’t need you.” The head can’t say to the feet, “I don’t need you.”
In fact, some parts of the body that seem weakest and least important are actually the most necessary. And the parts we regard as less honorable are those we clothe with the greatest care. So we carefully protect those parts that should not be seen, while the more honorable parts do not require this special care. So God has put the body together such that extra honor and care are given to those parts that have less dignity. This makes for harmony among the members, so that all the members care for each other. If one part suffers, all the parts suffer with it, and if one part is honored, all the parts are glad.
All of you together are Christ’s body, and each of you is a part of it. Here are some of the parts God has appointed for the church:

first are apostles,
second are prophets,
third are teachers,
then those who do miracles,
those who have the gift of healing,
those who can help others,
those who have the gift of leadership,
those who speak in unknown languages.

Are we all apostles? Are we all prophets? Are we all teachers? Do we all have the power to do miracles? Do we all have the gift of healing? Do we all have the ability to speak in unknown languages? Do we all have the ability to interpret unknown languages? Of course not! So you should earnestly desire the most helpful gifts.

But now let me show you a way of life that is best of all. If I could speak all the languages of earth and of angels, but didn’t love others, I would only be a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. If I had the gift of prophecy, and if I understood all of God’s secret plans and possessed all knowledge, and if I had such faith that I could move mountains, but didn’t love others, I would be nothing. If I gave everything I have to the poor and even sacrificed my body, I could boast about it; but if I didn’t love others, I would have gained nothing."

 (1 Corinthians 13:1-3)

Here's a somewhat related song that comes to mind....

And yes, "the Kingdom of God is not just a lot of talk; it IS living by God's power" (2 Corinthians 4:20) so reflection and self-examination are for the purpose of repentance and appropriating Jesus' authority in the dry places of our walks.
