religious colored glasses (continued)

God is continuing to deal with me on my religious colored glasses, they affect not only the views I hold about various doctrines, they affect how I read my bible, and how I look at people. What I mean is, if you have been raised that all drinking (of alcohol) is wrong, or that Christians shouldn't read harry potter then when you see a brother or sister doing that it is really easy to say " I can't believe they are doing that" or something even more judgmental. Maybe I am the only one guilty of this but here is a example, you see some one from your church at a wedding and notice they are drinking, right away you think "what about avoiding the appearance of evil". (or any other one of the verses those who believe all drinking is wrong use) why does the verse where, Jesus turned water into wine (at a wedding) never pop into our heads at that moment? I find even when I am reading my bible these glasses get in the way, I'll read a verse that seems to defend my view point and respond in my heart " see I'm right". I know that's horrible and maybe I'm the only one guilty of being so judgmental, and opinionated but I just can't help wondering if these glasses aren't part of the reason we need so many "labels" as Christians. There are, Baptists and Pentecostals, Lutherans and Methodists, Conservatives and Charismatics, Calvinists and Arminian, liberals and legalistic, and the list goes on and on. I don't want to be known by any of these "labels" I want to be known as a disciple of Jesus Christ, someone who is radically and totally in love with Jesus. When someone thinks of me I want the first thing that comes to their mind not to be, "oh Nick is Charismatic or Arminian" but to be, I think, " Nick looks a lot like Jesus". So today I am going to go humbly to the throne of grace, repent of my tremendous arrogance, and present my body a living sacrifice, asking the potter to make me into a vessel that truly represents His Son. And with the Holy Spirit's help I am going to remain on the cross allowing the Refiners fire to do it's work in me dying totally to my flesh so I may live for Jesus.
