jesus is still lord? really?

this is a quote i found today at the top of this website when i was googling some lyrics for church this weekend:

"homosexuality is sin. islam is a lie. abortion is murder. and Jesus is still Lord."

wow.

i would like to make an ammendment to the above statement - "Jesus loves homosexuals, Jesus loves islamics (yes, even the militant ones), Jesus holds the mother and the unborn child close in His arms of tender mercy, and Jesus is still the Lord who loves his followers despite how wrong we are 90% of the time."

i'm two steps away from renouncing all ties i have to christianity and calling myself a follower of christian spirituality, a follow of jesus (shout out to donald miller for that redefinition).

how on earth do we expect people to ever know the love of jesus if all we do is shout hate statements at them and each other?

jesus, may your love and truth ring out louder than our judgements.

Wait, I'm confused. You're making a MOVIE about Jesus being Lord? Well, you know what they say about Derek Rydall's screenplays. Just be careful.
I was disturbed to find the word "ministries" in this person's website.

Ummm, yeah. Sometimes love seems quiet compared to the loudness of hate.
