Stumbling About for Truth

“What I’m noticing is when we stop preaching Christianity as a religion…and we start inviting people to be followers Jesus and present Jesus and His way as part of this beautiful story of the Kingdom of God, a lot of our Christians who have left are drawn back.” -Brian McLaren on the way Post Modern Christians are responding to the church.

I found this quote on Rick Thompson's blog (http://roadwetravel.blogspot.com/) . I thought it was worth repeating here: True, grace-filled Christianity does not gloat in the face of disagreement. The result of grace is a love that points out truth but never points down. You know you have the gospel when you have reached a point in your life when you can passionately love people who you do not agree with. Think about that quote for awhile and put your own relationship with God, your family and the people of your church family in the context of it. What needs to change?
