| Should Christians Shut Up? |
|
| |
| We're told that in polite company we don't discuss sex, politics or religion. I agree with the first two, but why can't we discuss religion? Jesus did, all the time. Granted, sometimes people didn't want to listen, especially the Pharisees. What about in the church? We can have wonderful discussions among Christians but not always. Perhaps that's why even some Christians don't like to discuss religion among themselves. Perhaps we need to learn how to discuss respectfully by esteeming each other better than ourselves, give others grace to have different opinions and learn to forgive each other for our prejudices and sometimes hurtful words. What a shame it would be if Christians really did shut up! Sometimes the Gospel will offend, but not always. Could the problem sometimes be ours? Do we need to learn how to discuss our faith in a manner that is more attractive and less offensive? |
