Not only am I a follower of Christ but coffee is also one of my passions so this brief video is painfully funny but also relevant. Okay this might upset some readers so I guess it’s pretty controversial but I think for those who have been Christians for awhile or been raised as Christians there are some important lessons we can learn here. Actually there are many valid points of view that we can see from this quick video. If it offends you after watching it, ponder it for a day or so and then come back and watch it again…
I watched it with mixed emotions. I’ve been a follower of Christ for over 20 years so whenever the Church is poked I feel a little hurt but, as a follower who despises Christian-ese and the ‘playing-at-christianity‘ that many churches and Christians partake in, there’s a bit of truth in this message. So I watched it with a view to the Lord showing me His heart in it all.
You can find the original clip and more info at the Beyond Relevance site, which I’m not necessarily endorsing.
Plus I’ve had a few Starbucks coffee’s here in Australia and every cup has been bitter, which is a sure sign that the espresso shot was not extracted properly and I’ve needed 2 sugars, which is an indication that the milk has been scalded (burned) which is a big bad.
Oh, Susan… this is so clever! And, it is painfully true. Sad to say, but someone has hit the nail right on the head. It is like when you see someone imitate a person, and they get all the characteristics/traits down-pat, of that person. They have captured the mega-church (and wanna be mega-church) characteristics/traits here. I have belonged these types of churches, so I could well relate.
Thanks for posting this.

Thanks Amanda, I thought there was some validity in it too. Might sound or look harsh but there is some truth to it.
