Matthew 9:9-13: Was Matthew Listed in the Christian Business Yellow Pages?

What’s up with the Christian Business Yellow Pages? If that thing had been around in Jesus’ day and Jesus only entered the businesses of his followers, do you think he would have ever entered Matthew’s tax office?

If Jesus only hung out with the righteous, we wouldn’t be reading the gospel of Matthew.

If we only engage in conversation with Christians, shop at Christian stores, eat Christian food, listen to Christian music, watch Christian TV, go to Christian schools, read Christian books, work Christian jobs, how in the world does God’s kingdom come, his will done on earth as it is in heaven? Somebody break up this holy huddle!
