Yesterday, I read Todd Rhodes blog about an evangelical church plant in Utah that had it's funding taken away because they allow attendees to drink beer (2's the limit) at the Applebee's style restaurant/bar (see the comment section for this information from the church planter.)
Then I read today's devotion from NewSpring. Luke 7:36-47 has the story of a "sinner", a woman, who comes into the Pharisee's house and washes His feet with her tears, dries them with her hair and anoints them with perfume. And the Pharisee complains.
Seems to me to be very similar to the controversy with the guy in Utah. Just a few verses earlier, Jesus seems to be saying there was a "damned if you do/damned if you don't" mentality among the religious leaders. Seems to me some things NEVER change!
