When I am with those who are oppressed,
I share their oppression so that
I might bring them to Christ.
Yes, I try to find common ground with
everyone so that I might bring them to Christ.
Mahatma Gandhi said, “I like your Christ. I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.” I heard that Gandhi also said, “I should have been a Christian if not for the Christians.” Ofttimes, the biggest hindrance of Christianity is the Christians themselves. We set up standards making it difficult for people to know of and believe in Jesus Christ. We scare people with our own personal preferences in music, musical instruments and even the manner of worship in the church. The very people that we want to reach end up excluded and sometimes even scared to come to the feet of Christ. We need to stand with conviction in upholding the truth of Christ and decrease our personal preferences for the salvation of the lost. After all, the common ground is bringing the unsaved to Christ.

Very true, its all about bringing the lost to Christ.
AMEN! the church is not for all those who are good and holy because in romans 3:23 for all have fallen short.. we must bring others to CHRIST with love .. and not be selfish. because when we make it about us.. those lost souls will never find Christ. since we have found the truth, it is our job to do the will of the FATHER because He did not give us a spirit of timidity.. 2timothy1:7.. so be bold, but rebuke with LOVE because God is love. and don't hold your tongue, don't hold it if it's bringing glory to GOD and spreads the WORD.
God bless.
Christians!!!! this must be an eye opener for us. It is but inevitable that people around us are looking at our lives more than looking directly at Jesus. They guage Jesus by the way we are.
Do they see Jesus in us?
So sad that there are more good unbelievers that we can see around us than Christians who really have the walk of a Christ follower.
