Always Liked - Sometimes Stupid

Hal, on the TV program, "Malcolm in the Middle," was having a bad day and said, "God doesn't like us, but that doesn't mean we're bad!" We all had a chuckle - it was such an unexpected declaration. But on a more serious note, I would contend the opposite, that God does like us, but that doesn't mean we're good. In fact, Jesus said (not in plain English but in plain Aramaic), there is only One who is always good. (And He could have added "and it ain't you, babe," but He didn't). Which is why, when some of us are stupid, we should be resisted.

In other words, it is okay to resist people that God likes. Just because God likes them doesn't mean that we can't like them too ... and resist them.
