We are currently living in an age of tolerance. "You believe what you believe, and I'll believe what I believe, and as long as we don't attempt to influence or interfere with one another's life or beliefs than we will be just fine." While tolerance may be the cultural request of our day, Christ's command will always be the same: Go throughout the world and share My love with everyone!
Caring for the lost is not an option. Loving our neighbor (which includes all within the human race) is second only to loving God with all that we are. Therefore, the concern we have for the lost must always translate into action.
As Christians, we are to approach every situation with charity and hospitality. We are to create space for others to believe what they believe, and share what they believe without passing judgment or voicing condemnation upon them.
At the same time, however, it is our duty to share the Truth of the good news in love. To withhold this truth from others... even if in the vein of tolerance, would be a great injustice to the God we love, the sacrifice of Jesus, the work of the Holy Spirit in this persons life... and ultimately to the salvation of the individual that we are trying so hard not to offend.
As children of God we have all been called to bear His name and share His name with others... wherever God might lead us... be it within our home, in our school or workplace, in our communities, country or around the world!
Father, give me the willingness to go and share Your good news with my life!
