We need to live in a manner befitting the times in which we live. There are some critical attitudes that the true follower of Christ must maintain during these troubled days in which we live. First, in a time of hate, the Christian must live and proclaim a gospel of love - the love of God found in Jesus. Fear produces anger and rage. The fruit of love is peace and forgiveness.
Religion fills men with fear.
Jesus fills our hearts with love. We have the ability to love when everyone else hates. Revenge is the cry of the terrorist. Forgiveness is the cry of the follower of Christ. We must be a people of prayer and passion.
