God is Pushy

I've been trying to deal with being considered pushy. I was described as an un-fun, over-worried Christian. I looked up the definition of pushy. It means to be offensively assertive or forceful, aggressively or ruthlessly ambitious. That shouldn't describe a Christian, or should it? I think it describes God, though. When I look at His word, it over and over give examples of people He punished because they rebelled (rejected what God says to do, disobeyed). He told Saul that his rebellion was like the sin of witchcraft and that his arrogance was like the evil of worshiping idols. He even goes as far to say that because Saul reject Him, He rejected Saul (1 Samuel 15:23). We know what happened to Saul, God destroyed him, utterly. Now, is God being Christ-like when He gets pushy like that? 

It isn't easy to be a Christian. Never has been. Even Jesus said that when we are hated to remember that He was hated first. How can someone hate such a sweet guy, though? Okay, okay. So he whipped a few people in the market place, and called some respected Pharisees and Sadducees some mean names but hey, He just called it like He saw it. And, yah, the parables He told were picture stories of the sins they committed against each other. People didn't want to hear about their sins. Come on, who wants to be wrong when they are just trying to have a good and fun life?

Is God so pushy. (wink, wink)
