I am called a bigot,
told my speech is full of hate
but, all I want to do is to lead
others to the narrow gate.
I am called to be a witness,
for my Lord and Savior
and I need to tell people
about God’s mercy and favor.
If I didn’t care about the lost,
or those who are unsaved . . .
why would I be so concerned
about how they behaved?
I am called intolerant,
irrespective of reasoning
what’s hate got to do with it
if I’m following Jesus’ teaching?
If I didn’t know Jesus,
I wouldn’t need to share His grace
nor the love He has for all . . .
if only His life, they’d embrace.
I am a Christian,
I am a sinner too . .
that’s why they want to silence
all people, who think like I do!
~~~~~~~~~~
Acts 3:19
“Repent ye therefore, and be converted,
that your sins may be blotted out,
when the times of refreshing shall
come from the presence of the Lord.”

I agree . . .but, when I speak out about it . . . I am told I am judging and that I am not showing my Christlike love . . . and that is coming from other Christians!

Thank you for blessing me with a reblog 🙂 I do believe the attack on our faith needs to be addressed . . . as we continue to be demonized because of our beliefs we must be ready to give an answer! Amen and Amen
