The Rule: If it is furbished by Christians, it is perfectly safe.
Christians offer amazing gifts to the world: humanitarian aid, great venues to connect with God, prayers, blessings, and apparently cancer.
The above sign is from the largest Christian fast food establishment in the US- Chick Filet, yet they serve up criss cut cancer fries, birth defects in a bun and reproduction repercussions in a wrapper. Of course they don't do this intentionally. No Christian would ever be that malicious, yet there are risks in consuming their food. Because they are a Christian company doesn't mean the blessed greasy chicken enters our stomach and turns into a spiritual chicken with the vitamins and minerals of a heavy weight champion's morning shake.
Funny how churches don't put warning labels on their doors, that reads, "Loneliness, sadness, and seizures may result from entering these doors."
Well, of course they don't. It should be assumed that when a group gathers, sin gathers. Christians do so many amazing things in the world, but we are all sinners, producing great stuff for the kingdom of God as well as not so great stuff, that quite frankly is humiliating, such as B rated Christian movies. But we cannot assume that if a Christian made it, it should be perfect, as if it was from the Hand of God. We should not go to a church, start serving and get burned out and blame the church for not being in-line with God because our needs are not met. Churches are dysfunctional. Heck, people are dysfunctional, even if they have accepted Christ into their heart.
So if a Christians slips up, sins, or causes harm, show grace. It is bound to happen. We are not perfect people.
