Kingdom living, as opposed to reaching salvation and stopping our
Christian growth, has been a theme I've been hearing lately. Our
leaders are teaching this approach but the ball must be picked up by the
mature Christians to be more successful in sharing His light with love
and good works. If not, how can we shine it in baby Christians' face
with the complaint that we wish they'd stop squinting their eyes,
slapping out at us or turning their backs completely. Salt, forced fed
rather than sprinkled, is embittering; and light, glared rather than
glowed, is only more blinding. We, more mature brothers/sisters, need
to be more patient with His sheep. The world is looking at how we treat
each other to determine whether they want what we profess to have.
Let's Be Less Critical
