In a world where it's a trend to hate on race, sexuality, gender, and religion, Christians need to stick out to others in our world, and become the kindness the world needs so desperately.
Christians have a really bad reputation. We are too judgmental, stuck up, bashful, and ignorant. Right? No. There are so many out there who claim to love and live for the word of God, yet take the scripture out of context and use it to bash others lifestyles. They use the Bible to fuel hate. So... it's no surprise that we are not liked.
There are ways to handle things. And when trying to hold a fellow brother or sister accountable, we MUST show love. We must love or neighbor. We must use our God to represent love. And Grace. Hate is not going to help anything.
We were called to love everyone.
We were told the moment we accepted Christ that we would be under so much prosecution and violence. That the world would view us as stupid, weak, and oblivious to what "reality" is. It is literally told to us. So why do we treat our prosecution with hate? We MUST do better.
Us Christians that live in America, can freely share the Gospel. in America, we won't share our faith whenever we are so free to do so. There are Christians in other countries who die every day because they are so passionate about saving our brothers and sisters. If they can save ONE soul from an inertial life in hell, they will lay down their life. As Christians, it is our calling to share the gospel. We WILL be prosecuted. We will get laughed at. We will get told that what we believe is worthless. But, we are blessed enough to live in a country where we can FREELY share our heart. Yet we choose to hide. We choose to take the easier route and just live for Christ in the comfort of our own homes. Why?
Save our fellow brothers and sisters. Show people the love of God.
Mark
16:15
Go into all the world and share the Good News to all creation.
