They’ll know we are Christians by our love?

I was working out yesterday and watching the news at the same time and I saw a piece on an abortion provider who was shot dead at church on Sunday.

There are so many things about this that bother me. Now, I’m usually not one to speak out about these kinds of issues but this really threw me over the edge. I don’t know if the gunman was a Christian or not but it got me thinking.

I’m fed up with the Church being known for what we are against. Anti-abortion, anti-gay, anti-this, anti-that. I feel like Christians today are known more for our anti’s than our love when scripture clearly says that is what we would be known by. John 13:35- “By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”

I know this is something I need to take to heart.. I could definitely love people more.
