Do We Show Love?
Why do people call themselves Christian, but they do not operate in love? A friend of mine that is a Free Will Baptist minister recently visited a larger city and commented on the wretchedness he saw their and the "oppressive spirit" he felt. Yet, he did not once try to reach out to a single one of the people he saw in the street. He did not try to talk to them or give them a hug. He just kept on walking and judged them for their behavior and their state in life. He calls himself a Christian, a minister even, yet does not show love or compassion. What a foul odor his actions must have been to the nostrils of God. No matter how righteous we act, if we do not have love, then are righteous actions are lost.
