Do you?
The apostle Paul writes,
“Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity.
“Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone Colossians 4:5,6.
Sometimes I think Christians forget about wisdom, especially here in North America. They are too focussed on getting things their way. On protecting their rights.
They spend their time complaining that the duly elected secular government is giving rights to people they object too. Then when a group pushes back they complain even more loudly. This should not be so.
As Christians we should be asking for Gods wisdom in reaching the world around us. We should be engaging those we disagree with not in a positive none condemning way. We should remember the words of Jesus who gave us a bench mark to follow when dealing with others, when he said,
“So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets” Matthew 7:12.
When dealing with those outside our faith, we should be asking ourselves; would I like to be treated the way I treated that person?
Thus my question is: Do you, in everything, you do, do to others what you would have them do to you?
Please think about it.
