eLife Family,<\/p>\n
I just wanted to say “thank you” for showing self-control on Facebook over the last 24 hours & not engaging in the political war that is happening online. I’m sure you’ve seen many hateful things posted on both sides & at times, you’ve wanted to jump in & give some perspective. I think there’s a time for that. But when emotions are raging, most people are only listening to those that agree with them.<\/p>\n
At eLife, we stand for biblical values & will continue to speak out publicly against “popular sins” in our society, like homosexuality. I’m not suggesting that this is a time to shy away from our convictions, but to pray that God would give us wisdom in calling people to repentance.<\/p>\n
We have a reputation for loving homosexuals, fornicators & adulterers & I’m hoping that never changes. Like Jesus, we don’t want to condemn them, but we do want to encourage them to “sin no more.”<\/p>\n
As often as you see hate spewed on Facebook, I’d encourage you to pray that God would continue to give us great effectiveness in reaching people for Christ.<\/p>\n
This would not even be an issue if everyone had a biblical worldview & closely followed Jesus. It’s pretty exciting that as often as we lead people to Christ, worldviews are changing & many will no longer look to themselves as an authority, but instead to God’s Word. That’s a WIN for sure!<\/p>\n
Just wanted to say thanks,
