They will know we are Christians by our...?

In John 13:35 Jesus said, "By this all men will know you are my disciples, if you love one another." Unfortunately today Christians are known more for what we are against than what we are for. The media and the political left like to portray us as wackos and extremists on par with the radical Islam factions we fight overseas; and often with good reason. From the Crusades to televangelists to fundamentalists who seem to want to make Jesus look bad, we haven't put the best face on Christianity. Certainly not the love Jesus would have us portray. I bring all this up because the Southern Baptist Convention is having their national convention in San Antonio this week. Yes the same group that made a laughing stock of themselves and Christians by telling people to boycott Disney. I pray that this week they seek God and make wise decisions that will affect Christianity in a positive way. Please guys, break out of your norm and do something loving this week rather than condemning the world and making the rest of us look foolish.

Blessings
