A Good Look in the Mirror
A new documentary, Lord Save Us From Your Followers, helps Christians to see what we really look like to those on the outside looking in.
| posted 7/15/2008



Lord Save Us From Your Followers is incisive and fair, goofily funny and deeply moving. There is no watering down of the gospel. Merchant knows sin when he sees it. He simply finds the plank in his own eye of greater importance than the mite in his neighbor's.

"Love is stronger than hate," he says. "It conquers all. It is the most important command in Scripture. So why aren't we doing more of it? Loving the unlovable is what it's all about. We are not called to judge the moral worthiness of those we are commanded to adore. It's time for a conversation. The monologue isn't working. Let's be willing to respect each other and listen to each other. You might be surprised what happens."

Congratulations, Peace and Abundant Blessings to Dan Merchant. It takes a lot of courage to stand up "to the world and Christiandom" for your faith. It's about time Christians came out of the safe walls of the church to speak the truth in love. I like how he points out that abortion and homosexuality are "pet sins" for too many Christians. James 2:10 states that "If someone obeys all of God's laws except one, that person is guilty of breaking all of them." "Because all people have sinned, they have fallen short of God's glory," according to Romans 3:23. I believe that Dan gets to the crux of the matter in pointing to his own pride and arrogance. Most of us suffer from this sin. And as Dan points out, God does not see our pride as less of a sin than abortion, murder, homosexuality, taking the Lord's name in vain, adultery, or even telling a "little white lie." God considers them all vile and we are all as filthy rags; but for Jesus!
