Shut Up and Love

Rick Long says:

I think we Christians need to be promoting what we are for. The world knows what we are against. Actually, the world thinks we are against pretty much everything outside of baptism and designated offerings. I am sick of hearing the self-rightous and pious point out the filth, and much of it is indeed filth, while leaving the love of Jesus out of the equation.

I couldn’t agree more. Specially, this whole “traditional marriage” debate. Do Christians realize that our aggressive support for one man/one woman is being viewed as hatred toward homosexuals?

Shouldn’t we instead focus on reaching out to homosexuals? Instead of trying to interfere with how they live their life, we need to show them God’s love. We need to support and encourage anyone who may be struggling with this issue. Help is available.

  1. emistry.com You are a philosopher, Dr. Johnson. I have tried too in my time to be a philosopher; but I don’t know how, cheerfulness was always breaking in.
