Chill a Little and Love a Little

As I think about Christianity and how some evangelistic messages or methods adversely impact our American culture there is much to ponder.

Unfortunately the "in your face" and "looking for a heated confrontation" approach that Jesus sometimes took with the religious leaders of his day has become for some Christians the only approach in their evangelistic handbag. Don't get me wrong, it is a validate approach, and should be pulled out when appropriate, unfortunately their needs to be wisdom as to when to apply such an approach.

I fear the fire for Jesus by some invokes the inner warrior and has them pulling out their swords and trying to slash off people's ears. In a day when people need to hear God's message, we all need to pray a little more, think a little more, and act in love a little more. This way the message is more appropriately conveyed as Jesus would present it.
