I have heard so many deep thoughts from great Christian thinkers this week. It's really messing me up. One of them I am still trying to process full was from Brian Houston. Brian is the Pastor of Hillsong Church in Australia. He said "As Christians, we should be known by what we are for, not by what we are against." DANG! THATS GOOD!
Sadly, many of us in the church have let our passions get the best of us and to the world we are known mostly by what we are against rather than what we are for.
When you think about it. We follow Jesus not for what he was against but because of who he was and what he stood for. Jesus stood for the poor and hungry. Jesus stood for the abused and neglected. Jesus stood for the fatherless and the widowed.
Question: What do you stand for? Or as a Christian are you known by what you are against?
