- 4: It makes me wonder, how often do we try to bring people to Christ by "wise and persuasive words"? We should be loving them. No matter what they do or say. Not only is that something that something that is not always easy, it is easy for me to forget to love other. I'm not talking about being nice and courteous to people. I'm talking about actively loving people. If all true Christians where to actively love everyone, I think things would be different. I don't think there would be much to blame/complain on Christians. The only thing would be that we are not perfect, that we do sin. If there is someone who calls them self a Christian and thinks they are better that anyone, we need to have a talk.
At first, I was thinking there wasn't anything I could get out of this chapter. But I kept reading it over and over anyways. I read it carefully a handful of times or so before I got something out of it. If you are ever having trouble getting something out of reading the Bible, remember that ever verse is there for a reason. You just have to figure out that reason.
I strongly believe that all Christians need to share what they are going through and what they learn/think when they spend time with God. I think that a good way to do this, is for us Christians to share with each other. Having a blog like this one I think is a very good idea. If you are a Christian and haven't started one you should. If we see someone who isn't blogging as much as they should (we should spend time with God every day), we can encourage each other to spend time with God every day. Also, if you do start a blog like this, let me know so I can link to it and read it.
If you already have a blog like this you should push any Christians that you know to do the same. Not that they have to blog it, just that they share their thoughts and experiences in some way often. I just think that a blog is a easy way to let almost anyone to know your thoughts.
