So, there are actually people on this earth that can be Christian, yet be so... urgh.. Confusing, Unattractive... and well, downright frustrating. I'm talking about the kind of people that yell and scream about repenting your sins now or you'll pay for eternity, and if you or I don't, well, then we may burn forever in hell.

While I can see their motives, I don't agree. To most it doesn't come across that way. It doesn't appear to be very loving, and it's... well... kind of scary.

It's scary for two reasons.

One: That screamer and I get painted with the same brush. We do both share a passion for bringing people to Christ, however, our ways of going about attaining that goal are different. Two: it's just scarey and it doesn't show God's love.

Quite frankly, I don't think scare tactics work. I don't think it's what Jesus had in mind. Didn't Jesus say that He came to save the world, and not to condemn it? John 3:17 "For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him."

He came to love us exactly how we are, while we were still sinners. And while the screamer thinks that he's spreading the good news. He's actually making people leary of Christianity.

To those people that may read this, that somehow came across my page. Just know this... God loves you and he's crazy about you. God loves everyone.

There's so much more that people can do besides scream "repent!" Try love. Try loving people the way that we are suppose to be.

God commands us to love.

John 13:34-35 "A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another."

How are we as Christians doing anything to combat this stereotype of the "hellfire and brimstone" preacher unless we are loving? We need to love.... Not scream.
