1 Thessalonians 2:4
but just as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, so we speak, not as pleasing men, but God who examines our hearts.
I would not suggest getting in someone’s face and scream, “You are a sinner and are going to Hell!” Nor would I ever expect you to apologize for your faith and beliefs. Living your life as a Christian can sometimes feel like balancing on a tightrope. Good news! You have a net!
If you want to tell the world about Christ, live it! Show the world Christ and His love. Show patience, grace and forgiveness. At the same time, show strength in your beliefs. You don’t have to back down or apologize for Christ.
Most people don’t want to offend someone. However, there is a responsibility on the other person in a conversation also. It is not my job to please everyone all of the time. I only have to make sure I am pleasing God. One way to do that is loving my neighbor, even when I don’t agree with him. That is my net!
Lord, help me love others even when I don’t agree. ~amen
