It seems to me that many Christians have forgotten how to be Christians. Some are into picketing, rioting, violence – and saying they do it in the name of God. Many other Christians quietly support this while sitting in the comfort of their own homes and church buildings. They have forgotten that Jesus did none of this. Jesus actually spoke against such behavior because such behavior is like the world’s behavior. As Christians we are to live and serve as Jesus did. That is to love our neighbor and bless our enemies, to preach and teach the good news of Jesus Christ – that He came and paid the price for our sins so that our sins can be forgiven by God – to call people to repentance so that they can be forgiven and begin living as Jesus wants them to. Jesus and the apostles didn’t challenge government. They challenged the hearts and minds of people. Unless the gospel is proclaimed in truth and love, the nation will continue to grow further and further from God.
