Love Is The Movement.

It’s not our job to make everyone believe. Christians aren’t supposed to go to everyone and say hey you, believe in God because he died for you. If you are asked or you feel lead or if you are in a position to defend your faith, by all means speak of Him and His love. But you cannot go and shove your beliefs down people’s throats. Your job, as Christians, is to love as God loves us, and be a light so that people can see God shining through you. You’re supposed to take people and love and accept them.
You cannot go to a prostitute and turn up your nose at them and say they are a bad person because you are no better than them. You are smearing the name of God by rejecting these people, His people. Christians need to learn to love. We are so afraid of what is different from us, because we are afraid of challenges. We cannot give up on people who are gay or people who drink and have sex, we need to love them. We need to go to these people and say what you are doing is wrong, but you are loved. We need to let them know that they have a home in Jesus and a friendship in us and in the church. They need to know they are safe from the judgment of man.
It just bothers me sometimes that Christians preach fairness and not to judge, when we are the most judgmental of them all. Who are we to look at people and judge their actions? We can recognize the difference between right and wrong, but I am not the King of the earth, and so I don’t have the authority or the knowledge to judge my brothers and sisters. Don’t look down on me when I curse, because that is something I struggle with, which is between the Lord and me. Go ahead and tell me that it is wrong in a loving and gentle manner, because that is what is great worth in God’s eyes. But do not think of me as less of a Christian because I am human and I am struggling just as the rest of the world is.
People, just learn to love. Learn to blind yourselves to the dirtiness and ugliness of people, and reach out to them, because that is what is going to reveal the light of Jesus.
