Signs of a Christian

One of my God-sons is quite upset by last FRiday's shooting here in town.
The kids involved all went to his high school. with it being aresponse
His office looks over the shooting area.
He was a witness to the death of someone he knew.
He does not know how to respond.

Of course very few people kill one another without hate playing a role.

As a Christian,
You are to LOVE without hypocrisy.
Our LOVE is to be genuine.

Romans 12:9-11

Love Truth
Avoid evil.
Cling to what is good.
In truth, else LOVE is just a feeling.
Hate evil, turn your back on evil.

Show Honor
Be melded with good.
Put others needs before your own.
Remember, you do not need to be first!

Out do others in kindness - this shows honor.
Actively seek ways to show their importance to you.

Find Passion
Our culture is plagued by apathy.
Our churches are plagued by apathy.

Passion is found in investing in others.
Missions,
Foster children,
Orphans,
Widows,
The poor.

Think
Food banks,
Clothing banks,
Car repair and servicing,
Tax preparation.

But, being passionate is hard when you have gang wars in progress.
Yet, this is the very reason your passion is needed.

It takes very little to change an environment.
Your genuine LOVE is all it takes.
Change just one life.
And others will follow .....
