Today I was thinking about a rant from a “friend” on Islam and terrorism. I disagreed with it. Why did I disagree? Because how can you reach those you hate? I don’t agree with terrorism in any shape or form. But I know someone needs to reach them. Certainly, my friend will never reach one…
Christianity and so many other things have forgotten the personal factor. Everything is done on the internet. Everything is done in the form of emails and texts and so little is done with face to face.
I think about Paul and his confrontations throughout the scriptures. But he loved the people.
It is too easy to seek comfort and avoid Godly confrontation. It is time to move from our Western mindset and begin to love our enemies.
