Something to think about. February 18, 2008

I’m mostly concerned with the second half of this video. I don’t have time this morning to really talk about it, but it bothered me a lot. I don’t think Christians need to back down from issues or from politics. I think the opposite. We should stand up for what we believe in just like anyone else should. But I also think we would be so much better off if Christians, as a whole, stopped and considered HOW they say what they say, and consider the way Jesus lived and acted and impacted people, as opposed to the way most people go about it today. Jesus talked a lot about boldness, but he also talked a lot about gentleness. I think a little more gentleness and a little more understanding would go a long way towards preventing opinions like the one Charles Barkley apparently holds.
