Ramsay's Church Nightmares!
Captain Sensible writes: Does anyone watch Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares? Basically, the leading chef, Gordon Ramsay, goes into failing restaurants and tries to put right the things that are wrong. And boy are they wrong! Last night's episode saw a head chef basically serving food that could give people food poisoning, if not actually kill them. The restaurant was losing £5,000 a week, and the new owner would soon be bankrupt if things didn't change. The kitchen was so filthy that Ramsay had to have it immediately condemned.
Nice.
What was interesting to me was how angry Gordon Ramsay became talking to the chef in charge, and to a degree, the owner. To say he was hopping mad is not an exaggeration. He literally jumps up and down when he is particularly passionate about something. It's really quite endearing!
But let's imagine for one moment that Ramsay was dealing with Christians in that restaurant. Very likely, they would not be so worried about the state of the kitchen. No, what would really disturb them would be Ramsay's anger. Maybe they would tell him that being angry was a sin? Perhaps he needs to learn to be content when faced with life-threatening kitchens? They might even try and stop him making any changes, and instead advise him to pray about the situation. Of course, what would really bother them the most would be his swearing. Life-threatening kitchens? Fine, no problem for Christians! The use of the f-word? Completely and utterly unacceptable!
Hopefully, they would not be left standing after saying any of these things to Gordon Ramsay.
I wonder if Channel 4 would consider commissioning a spin-off series: Ramsay's Church Nightmares?
It's just what the church in this country needs.
Nice.

Sorry, how could I forget! They would probably also tell him to seek first the Kingdom. Then clean kitchens will just miraculously follow.
;-)
Perhaps they would reason that if people become ill through preventable food poisoning, which has come about through negligence and laziness, then this must be God's will, and He is wanting to teach the victims something through their suffering?
Maybe the trial of vomiting and diarrhoeah, is helping them to conform more to the likeness of Christ?
But even if they agree in principle that having clean kitchens is a Godly aim, they will still refuse to do anything practical that would actively help the situation, because never mind "kitchens", Ramsay should be seeking first the Kingdom.
Which apparently means turning a blind eye to "worldly" things, like making sure elderly people and children do not end up dying as a result of sinful negligence and laziness.
And still what would really bother them most would be the anger in Ramsay's heart.
Which no doubt would be magnified a zillion-fold should he actually be told any of this stuff, leading most probably to physical violence with a cast-iron frying pan.
This would thereby prove the Christians right after all, because he really would have lost it then!
