Honestly, and this is just from my convos with people from all walks of life, Iāve found that most people usually arenāt mad at us for serving and loving God. What angers them is the fact that most of us they come across, donāt mirror the love of God at all. https://twitter.com/prettigurlzpray/status/1299204812534407168">https://twitter.com/prettigur...
Most of us have all the scriptures memorized, know all the Christianese in the world but weāre so nasty and rude to folks...and use scripture (most of the time outta context but Iāll get to that later) to alienate ppl instead of draw them in.
Iām...not a big fan of most Christians either imma be honest. I legit donāt like most of yal because of the attitude that yal take. Whereās the love in that?
Hereās the thing. You donāt have to compromise the gospel in order to win ppl but a lot of yal donāt even know how to have simple conversations with folks and I really need us to think about what thatās doin to our witness.
In the last 11 years Iāve been preaching Iāve heard, from ppl on all sides of the spectrum that Iām not like other preacherās theyāve come across and that makes me sad because I shouldnāt be some anomaly. This should be commonplace for any professing believer.
So. Yeah. Folks side eye Christianity for a lot of reasons but I really need us as the body to be honest about the fact that we, Christās representatives, have played a part in that side eying as well. Itās a lot of work for us to do.
