Chaplain's Corner: A Challenge

[freespiritchurch]

I want you to read this recent post from "Ask a Chaplain."

Looking back on it I have always believed in Jesus, he has always been a real person to me, not a fictional character.... I do believe that Jesus is the Son of God and it is this belief that keeps bringing me back to Christianity. When I think of the torture that He endured for me it makes me want to cry. I feel that something that I feel this deeply must be affecting me for a reason, and so here I am.

I have been reading this out to my Mum and sister and I can honestly say that they are not scornful at all and the more I talk about my love of Christ the more accepting they actually are.

I feel so light inside as if a great weight has been lifted, and my Mum and sister are now members here as they wish to find out more.

Today, there are people on CF who are learning about Jesus for the first time. Before you hit the "submit" button on your post, ask yourself this: what does your post teach people about Jesus? Does it show people that Jesus teaches his followers to be loving, peace-filled, and grounded? Or does it show people that Jesus teaches his followers to fly off the handle and speak harshly?

This site is a ministry, and every Christian here shares in that ministry. Remember that your words may have a much greater effect than you will ever know.

Good reminder that Christianity, above all else, is a religion of peace and of love.

We should never be afraid to preach the truth- but to do so always in the same gentle way that Jesus brought his message to the people in the Holyland.

Whenever a post is made ask yourself: would I make this comment if the person it is being addressed to was standing in front of me- and was my best friend.

Thank you for reminding us that our relationship with Christ, the words we speak and the way we speak them is very important and DOES make an impact on the people around us. Prayerfully, always a positive one.
Blessings, Mary
