HOW CHRISTIANS SHOULD RESPOND TO HATE

Colossians 4:6 New King James Version
6 Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one.

GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA EVERYONE!!!
I know Tim Gustafson when he wrote this devotional, didn't have ANY idea that would happen in regards to Charlie Kirk, as well as other genuine instances of hate that have been going on over the last few months, so I can understand, if people would think of these questions as rather poignant for today. I'll be honest guys and tell you that my responses to them would be met with a lot of going to the Lord before I did anything, especially saying or doing anything stupid, but I think it's important to share them. Please read this first question carefully, and I pray that God will challenge and encourage your heart through it.

What’s your reaction when you see or hear hateful speech?

Tonight, my friends, I'd like to share some things that God has been showing me on this issue, through this vlog I'd like to share with all of you tonight, and I pray that you carefully listen to what I have to say. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends, and learn how we as Christians need to respond to the hate that is in the world around us With grace, and thinking before we speak! 😊

So, my friends, as I close this post with all of you tonight, I want to leave you with this final question from this morning's devotional, and I pray that you not only very carefully think about it, but that you ask God to help you respond in a way that honors Him.

How might you respond differently the next time you encounter hate?

I want to leave you with something that I shared in a vlog from four years ago, that I think is more than appropriate for this situation, and I pray that you read it carefully and act on it. I pray that you will be willing to show and express God’s love, compassion, and mercy to those who hate God and Christianity, so they see the REAL Jesus in us! I believe it starts with asking God to help us respond to hateful words, with words of Christ likeness, love, and compassion. To be an extension of God’s grace and show His love and mercy to all we encounter, especially the ones who hate and despise you!! I pray that you will choose to be God’s instrument of mercy to those who hate you, and that you will allow God to use you to be His light in the darkest of hearts and be willing to show His love and mercy to those who need it the most.

UNTIL WEDNESDAY:

HAVE A VERY TRANQUIL EVENING IN CHRIST JESUS!!!
