Listen
Are you listening to those around you who may think and believe differently than you? Or since 'they' lack in certain areas in which you are stronger, do you count them as below you and not worthy of being heard? I honestly heard something loud and clear this week and I want to share it with you. I believe that the world thinks we hate their sin and and that we hate them also. I can completely understand why those outside our fellowships are not coming inside our fellowships. We have forgotten that everything must be done in love. If the fact that I'm right overshadows my love for my brother, then I am COMPLETELY wrong. If the song of truth I am playing is not in the key of love then I am deceived at best and a son of Satan at worst. Do I need a scriptural reference for these past statements? Can you not hear Jesus as he hung on the cross and cried out to His Father, "Forgive (INSERT YOUR NAME HERE), for (INSERT YOUR NAME HERE) does not perceive what (INSERT YOUR NAME HERE) has done to me!" If we want to share the love of Christ, then we should share the love of Christ. The love of Christ does not begin or end with, "You are sinful". It begins and ends with, "God loves you and is not mad at you!" Wake up, Christ-followers!
