AN UPDATE ON MY CONCERN WITH K-LOVE CHRISTIAN RADIO

7/11/2013

I have received a response to my expressed concern about K-LOVE Christian Radio having Mike Fisher on their Fan Awards in light of his wife, Carrie Underwood announcing her support for gay "marriage". Below are the K-LOVE president's response and my reply to him.

Dear Pastor,

Thank you for your email and concern about the statements made by Carrie and your questions about her husband, Mike Fisher.   I was unaware of any comments made by his wife and I haven’t found such statements being made by Mike. The fan awards is a fan experience and they nominate and vote for people of their choice.

As a radio network we approach people and difficult topics with love. I am reminded there are two things the bible tells me to do daily, first it tells me to “take up my cross” and then in Hebrews 3 it tells me to “encourage one another”   Difficult topics I believe need to be approached in love.

Our desire is to minister to as many people as possible with the gospel message.    Jeremiah 29:13 (NIV)   “You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart”   Notice Jeremiah uses the word “all”. We are all called to grow and to seek him with all of our heart.   I think that it so important today to realize! We live in a difficult time and have many topics like this one that we as the church need to be open to more dialogue and discussion. We need to provide an environment of solid biblical teaching with the spirit of love as our guide.

I appreciate your concern and care in your note. This ministry loves the Lord and strives to do and be the best that it can be in Him. I am very open to more dialogue please give me a call at 1-800-525-5683.

In His service,

Mike Novak – President/CEO

Hello, Mike.

Thank you for taking the time to respond to my concern. I am sincerely glad to hear from you. I have always appreciated your personal love for the Lord and for people, inspiring your enthusiasm for what you do. I also want you to know that the Lord has often used the ministry of K-LOVE in helping me through some very hard times, with the comfort of Christ-centered music at times being the only comfort I could find. My contacting you on this issue was out of nothing less than deep appreciation and concern for our Lord’s intentions for you and glory in you. If you will bear with me, I would like to acknowledge and respond to the things you said.

To be honest, I am somewhat surprised you were not aware of Carrie’s statements. In one way, that’s a relief, but in another way, that’s troubling. It’s a relief in that there was no outright disregard on your part for the problem that is there. On the other hand, it’s troubling, because with the size of the platform God has blessed you with (“you” being the radio station as a whole), it behooves you to be as educated as possible on the true beliefs and practices of those you allow on that platform, or, to be propped up on that platform, considering the scope of your beneficial influence. I understand that you cannot exhaustively know everything about everyone, but this is very public information regarding very public and popular people. Please believe me, I do not say this with the intention of being critical. I simply believe that there is a very necessary application here of Paul’s admonition, Test everything; hold fast what is good (1 Thessalonians 5:21).

Having said that, I do realize that Mike has not made any direct statements of his own. But in light of Carrie’s clear intention to make her position known, along with their church’s position and their mutual attendance of it, his silence says as much as any statement would. He leaves it safe to conclude that Carrie speaks for both of them.

I also understand that the fans nominate and vote for people of their choice. However, I must take for granted that you would not allow a nomination and vote to go through for someone you knew stood against clear Biblical teaching, regardless of what they claim about their faith.

I also fully agree with you that love is to be our driving motivation - love for God first and love for others second - and that is why I am addressing this. People are perishing in lies they are believing about God and His will, and we the Church cannot silently sit by while they do. And I know you believe that. I do believe that we need to be ready to discuss issues such as this, so long as the discussions are not a way to go around the declarations we must humbly and lovingly, yet, persistently make. Over and over, I have heard and read Christians say how difficult is this issue of homosexuality (along with other issues), but then stop short of dealing with the issue itself in sharing and standing by what God has so clearly said about it. And I am not saying this at a distance from this issue, having a close family member caught up in it.

Mike, you are a very gracious and kind man. I pray I can be as gracious as you in dealing with this and the many other challenges to our faith we face today. May our Lord Jesus, from Whose fullness we have all received grace upon grace and through Whom grace and truth have come (John 1:16 & 17), lead us along very intimately and intentionally in glorifying Him above all as the most loving thing we can do for all.

Congratulations on launching the Fan Awards. May God richly bless them and be greatly glorified in them.

Yours in Christ,

Bela

I came across this conversation while searching for something that was announced on K-love today about Marriage. I just had a desire to share my thoughts after reading this. I do this in the most loving respectful way.
I have only been listening to K-love for 3 months and I feel so connected because of the LOVE factor. I believe Jesus is love and all that we are required to do is show love. In everything, love plays the biggest factor. Love is the center. Jesus is the center.
On gay marriages/relationships, I dont believe one necessarily is okay with it just because their partner is. The fact that they are not in agreement is something I believe they would need to work together on. What I do believe is that we are to show love and by Mike Fisher stating not stating that he doesnt agree with Carrie his wife, does not mean that he does agree with it. We cannot just assume that. I like to look at it from the point of a loving view. Perhaps he is not making a statement because for example, if he doesnt agree with his wife and makes a statement, what does this show the rest of the world? For some, it may possible show something negative. It may push away that one person seeking the Lord. I live in South Africa where gay marriages are legal. I have gay friends. This does not mean I agree with gay marriages or relationships. It means that I love them and I want to show them Jesus through my life. I believe that by showing them love and being an example with my husband together showing them love, welcoming them in our homes, allowing them to find Jesus, they could come to the point where they ask about our beliefs on it. They might feel wow here is a couple that believes in Jesus and they dont judge us? Introducing them to Jesus is a way of love, I believe they will then seek the Lord, read scripture and be convicted by the Word of what is right and what is wrong in Jesus's eyes. I like to use this way in all factors of life.
At the end of the day, do not judge. In any circumstance or any matter. Show love and allow Jesus to use you. If we do this I believe Jesus will do the rest. After all, our strength is not our own, it comes from Him. Jesus is love.

Hello, Cindy. I encourage you to read your own comments again and then read my response to Mike. My response to him is also my response to you. God bless you.

I’m sorry to say, you are clearly a bigot preaching in God’s name. I encourage you to read James Bronson’s book on same sex relationships. As you know he is a well respected heterosexual New Testament scholar. You are turning Gay men and women from God and we know how our Lord felt about that. May the Lord convict you of your error and May you then welcome His gay creations into the flock.

I do not support LGTB satanic agenda to sell tuck under swimsuits to children. People pulling kids out of schools now. I left my college because of endorsement of gay flag. Thank you, Monique De Bont

Monique no one sold the swimsuits to children. If you’re talking about last year’s Target pride line the tuck swimsuits were for adults. You really can’t rely on TikTok’s Christians and their fake outrage over unsubstantiated claims. God gives us the ability of discernment. Why can all of you be so comfortable and passionate about the actual hate you all feel for fellow human beings is it because you think you can say “God told me to”? Man! THERE’S NO LOVE LIKE CHRISTIAN LOVE!!!

Such a cope out. Would you deal with a person practicing “child” affinity in the same way? How about fornicators and adulterers? Would you just “love” them and by your silence give them a pass? No, I think not. The love that I believe Jesus talks about is our love for one another, those of the household of faith. And how is not confronting loving and how is confronting unloving? Nobody loves more strongly than Jesus did and He called things as they were. Was He being unloving when cleared out the temple? What about when He called the present leaders snakes, vipers? Again, I think not. Will your brand of love keep those you say you love from Father’s judgement or will that “love” require their blood on your hands? Such a cowardly response.

I fully agree we must love as God loves, but He also says to be in the world, but not of it. He also states that marriage is 1 woman to 1 man. The LGBTQ is the world giving into what satan is doing to kill and destroy what is true and of God. It's 2 totally different things to love the lost and then to condone sin.

I actually really appreciate that you are willing to stand on your convictions. We don't see much of that now a days, but Carrie's husband being silent is not really proof of his approval. Homosexuality is a huge hot topic now and if someone opposes it they get a lot of persecution. I think his silence could of been evidence of his disapproval also. I have learned that it is very wise to stay silent when you don't like people's views. He doesn't have to agree with Carrie.

I know very little about Carrie Underwood. I did not know about these statements she made, but I have doubted that she is a Christian for other reasons.

Hey Cindy, Bela, and Erica- and Mike… and Carrie if you’re reading this too!
What I am struggling to understand is why we get to take it upon ourselves to not only dissect Mike’s motives in his silence. His silence doesn’t preclude to doubt nor support of his wife. If he doesn’t support his wife, I fully support her!!
My first point is this, where there are instances of the word “homosexual” the original Greek translation is “pedophiliac”. Sodom & Gomorra was a take of the times of adultery and r@#£ and so on. There are trailblazers in the Bible like David who in the story laid with another man. I could go on here but I believe you get my point. God is a loving, graceful, God and unfortunately has been made out to be a judgmental and scary God.
If God made ALL PEOPLE- and made ALL OF US in His image then who are any of us to cast another aside and deem them unworthy of His love and mercy. The thing is that the word “homosexual” was invented in the 1940s so what was the word in the Holy Bible before then? I implore all christians who read this to please deep dive on biology and how when you doubt science you may be doubting your own God’s abilities and validity. Please learn the history of the Bible and the books of it.
One more thing, when you are so brazen to doubt another person’s relationship with Jesus, there’s something really important to remember. Judgment for one is reserved for the only one holy enough to cast the first stone. And if we have to prelude our comments of an assurance that it’s coming from a place of love then it usually isn’t coming from love.
My prayer is that one day the LGBTQIA community will not be demonized and preyed upon by the ones who claim Jesus - all the while weaponizing and hiding behind His good good name to justify your fears, hypocrisy, and prejudices against HIS people.
Thank you for reading if you made it all the way to here. I bid you love and happiness.

Dear Jane,
My name is Evie not eve. That’s really here nor there we have much bigger fish to fry. If you doubt that I’m reading the same Bible as you it may be time for you to deconstruct your faith and build it back up. Doesn’t the Holy Bible say that above all: love doesn’t the Bible say that God warns against being a judgmental person? I’m sure of the scripture I read I’m concerned about what you’re reading or at least how you’re interpreting it. I can’t believe how badly the Bible has been used to justify hate and violence. And God made ALL people and that includes every human being and in His image- who are you to say that they’re not His? Also please don’t place limits on my God. There’s homosexuality all throughout nature and He created these animals. And just as they are. Please educate yourself with unbiased research

I don’t understand how anyone could disagree with gay rights. Being homosexual should be considered just as normal as heterosexuality. Banning gay marriage is basically a way for cisgender heterosexual people to discriminate and insult homosexual people. I’ve never heard a valid reason for why gay marriage should be banned. I feel like most religions normalize hate towards the gay community and it isn’t okay. How much longer will you hide behind your religion until you admit you are just blatantly homophobic? If you see gay people as a threat to you or a disgrace, you clearly don’t have your priorities straight. Out of curiosity I will ask again, why do you deny homosexuals the right to marriage?

Elena, as a Christian we are to be against gay marriage due to the fact that homosexuality is wrong. It is an abomination to the Lord. It is wrong for same sex couples to be married because it is clear that marriage is to be between a man and woman. It makes sense biologically, mentally, naturally, physically, and spiritually. Either your a true Christian who stands against all sin, (which most do, we tend to have to really defend our biblical marriages right now) which is why you will see us standing for truth. If we can live in a reality of truth, then we are wasting time. Marriage is between a man and a woman. Anything else is sickening and sad. If you are pro same sex marriage and think you can be a Christian than you are 110% wrong. If God says that it’s an abomination and he hates sin. Then we too must hate sin. We are having to focus on this one because it’s more prevalent in society because our young ones are going to be out in the world. We need to protect them from the mockery of the same sex marriage has made. You can’t be a water downed Christian. Either you believe what God believes or you don’t. Mike not being able to make a stance proves that his wife is the wearer of the pants in their marriage. If he is the man of their home, she shouldn’t have voiced that opinion, meaning, he lets her speak for the both of them. That doesn’t sound like submission to me. It’s scary to think, that we live in society were Christian’s are willing to lay down their beliefs to fit in with the people who want to not feel judgement. Here is the number one fact. You shouldn’t feel judged if what you believe your doing or how your living is right. They feel judged because their habitual sin lifestyle is being pricked in their hearts from the Lord trying to show them the truth. Sinners shouldn’t feel comfortable still living out the sin in church. They should feel try conviction and get on their knees. It’s a dark world in that culture of sexually sinful people. It’s not natural. You can tell by basic biology that it isn’t natural. If you are basing your ideas of a feelings instead of truth then that is where you are 110% incorrect. Either be a Christian who is going to be bold and stand up for the truth, or stop being a Christian. It is black and white. There are no either sides. Either you serve satan, or you are serving God. No one can serve two masters.

Elaina, yes, it is in black and white in the Bible. But doesn’t the Bible says to love everyone, just as God loves is (John 15:12-13. “My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends) and Matthew 7 :: NIV. "Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. "Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?

Just because you don’t agree with it doesn’t mean you should act that way. Do all things in love. Be the light and let His light shine through you.

Act what way? Speaking the truth?? Being truthful is showing love. It’s showing biblical love. By showing someone biblical love, the goal is to lead them to salvation. If we truly love people, we will be telling them the truth about their lifestyle. If they feel comfortable in their habitual lifestyle, then it shows that they are truly saved. There is a major difference in judging someone, and telling them the truth. When we start watering down the gospel, we aren’t winning people over to the Lord. We are simply saying, you can keep living sinfully and say you are a Christian. Sinning will happen. However, when you are habitually sinning, then you aren’t truly saved. You cannot be in a same sex marriage and be a Christian. You just can’t. You might be a fantastic person, but ultimately, unless you deny yourself the sins of this world and follow Christ. If we are being the light for Christ, then wouldn’t the sinner give up their sins?? If we are allowing them to keep living the lie of marriage not being just between one man and one woman we are just creating a falsehood of belief. We then become the wolves in sheeps clothing, leading them to destruction. We will all be held accountable for our lives. We will see the false churches being separated from the true bible believing churches. It’s a shame, that as Christian’s, we are being told to basically lie to people. I can’t as a Christian, believe that the Lord would want us to say it’s okay to believe in me and still be a drunk, liar, their, homosexual, fornicator, etc. We come to Him and repent of those sins, and turn away. We are so afraid of the world telling us we are being judge mental, when we are actually still loving them, but not accepting their sin. We can’t accept their sin because God hates sin. If we love and follow God, then we must also hate sin. I know I’ll be held accountable for every sin that I have already sought forgiveness for. I’m aware that some will tell me that I have no right to speak truth to those who need to hear it. I know that I belong to a church that recently preached a sermon on the dangerous perverse society we live in. They said we as Christian’s can’t compromise our beliefs. We can’t share the gospel, if we lie to people. Tell them the truth. If you actively habitually continue to live a life of sin without true repentance(which means you no longer do that sin because to sought forgiveness and TURN away from it) you aren’t truly saved. It’s just so sad that we as Christian’s don’t speak the truth to individuals and instead are assisting satan and walking them down the road of destruction. You are either serving the Lord or Satan in every single thing you do. I pray that whoever sees this post will continue being a bold Christian and look for opportunities to stand up and do what is right. A lot of Christian’s think they are saved because the scriptures have been watered down.

To say that ANYONE is an abomination to God is pretty steep and it begs the question of your motives. Do you fear gay bisexual and transgender people? And if so why…. No where in the original Greek and Hebrew translation dies it ever even mention anything about homosexuality or transgenderism. And it’s because the word homosexuality and homosexual wasn’t even invented until much later. If you know about the times of Jesus there were no backlash or uproar about cross dressing or a man and a man because it only became shameful when white heterosexual males got their grubby little greedy hands on it and made Jesus a religion centered around money and fear. I urge you to educate yourself on the history of the Bible before you spit fire and hatred all over the place again. Then I implore you to dig deep to understand why you have such a disdain for the LGBTQIA community as a whole and why they are so scary to you. See the people in the LGBTQIA community are just trying to live and Christian men and women such as yourself go out of your way to make them feel as though they don’t deserve to be here but you come to church in your best pearls and Prada purses and flawless makeup to worship a God whom you don’t even understand. And you cover up all your insecurities and problems by claiming that someone else is the hypocrite or the abomination. If you don’t love first, and without judgement, then what are you doing here?? Only God reserves the right to cast someone aside it judge, and despite your best thinking you’re not God.
By the by, Jesus was a middle eastern man who sat with the prostitutes, lepers, and healed millions and performed countless miracles for EVERYONE! Without JUDGEMENT OR DISCERNMENT… if you’re trying to emulate Christ, I’d have to say there a lot of room for improvement.

Sam

Correct, You cannot find the word "homosexual" in the Bible, but you can find synonyms. Please read Leviticus 18:22 NIV ‘Do not have sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman; that is detestable.'
So in other words, being gay, which is exactly the translation here, is an abomination in the eyes of God. This is our God's opinion regarding gay marriages and as a christian, you are here to share the Word of God and to show love to other people and not to accept our society's beliefs ( like this one ) and to judge with correctly ( John 7:24 ).

Also, Jesus sat down with prostitutes, lepers especially because they needed help into finding the right direction. He didn't sat with anyone and accepted their sins, but showed them the correct path. Which is exactly what you should be doing. If you truly love them, you need to show them Christ and His beliefs, not yours. As long as their life does not align with God's word, then they are living a sinful life.

Without discernment a person or organization proclaiming to be a Christian will be influenced by the World System (whom Satin is head) and not Christ (whom God is head). Discernment comes from being truly Born Again in Christ Jesus God's son and then filling yourself with all that is of the true and living God. This includes obeying God's word and commandments contained in scripture (Bible) and living them out (fruit). Discernment is a requirement and not an option. We are not to have close association with anyone or organization that is not Born Again in Christ Jesus as they will have a sinful influence on our walk with Christ. This is even more true for any person or organization that claims to be His but with Biblical discernment is not. For they lead many astray from the Faith.

6/15/2023 09:07:49 pm

I understand what discernment is thank you. Also I have been a women of faith my whole life. I can say without a doubt that when you aren’t set aside to go to heaven and you see me gone to be in Jesus I want you to remember how you all held on to your blatant hatred for His children. Here you and most others justifying pure hatred and willful ignorance and hiding behind the name of God and Jesus Christ weaponizing your own personal prejudice against the people who He created. Have the courage to speak up about your hatred for them all when Christ comes back on Judgment day. I’m not going to waste my valuable time going back and forth with self righteous and ignorant so called “believers”. I bid you farewell. The only cure for ignorance is education.

I have a lot more concerns about K-Love than this one which I was unaware of. I'm an older man who remembers the way LOCAL Christians stations used to provide programming. The biblical injunction for Christian music is in Ephesians 5: "singing to one another in psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs." Is that what K-Love plays? I don't think very much of what they play falls within these three. At the end of the day after listening to K-Love I feel more worn out and spiritually uplifted. Same new songs over and over.Years ago Bill Gothard pointed out that beat stimulates the body, rhythm relates to the soul, and melody stirs the spirit. Watchman Nee in his book THE SPIRITUAL MAN explains that there is a vast difference between stimulating the carnal, fallen soul and elevating the spirit. I'm also just reading THE AWE OF GOD by John Bevere. He explains how our churches are far too flippant about God. I think K-Love is all about being flippant. Can a person find the awe of God in the programming? And it's very feminized. What percentage of the DJs are women compared to men? Paul did teach that he didn't allow a woman to teach or rule over a man. K-Love's programming is more for women. I as a man don't find much there to feel my godly masculine mind, will, emotions, or spirit.

5/20/2023 09:14:31 am

Umm that’s very misogynistic and taken out of context. Please don’t interpret the Bible to restrict who is anointed or called by God to spread the Good News of the Word. There are so many compelling witnesses and teachers of the Gospel. This has got to stop wherein we as mere humans are teaching that other human beings are lesser than another and that they’re not worthy of one gift or promise from God. And in the Bible there are instances in which God is described as and compared to a woman. Hence we’re all made in his image and are all called to be a vessel. None more important than the next and called by God Ann given the ability no person uses their gifts without God. Please unpack your patriarchal and misogynistic views it’s hard to unlearn it but it’s vital in order to fully understand the errors of our ways as believers. Thank you.

Thank you!!!! So true. Remember this verse: there is no difference, Paul said. Wether male or female, Jew or Greek etc. look up that verse. Yes it’s in the New Testament folks

8/7/2023 10:13:57 pm

Wow! That is full of sexist, and misogynistic statements. They’re are actually about an equal amount of boast that are men and women. In the morning there’s Skip and Amy. Than Carlos. Than Lori. Than Scott and Kelly. Than Alex. So that’s just one extra women at the end. It’s an uneven number, it can’t be perfect. The Bible does not ever use the word masculine. That is something some people obsess over but it isn’t scriptural. Generally men and women are different in many ways, but God also calls men to be meek, and lowly, gentle and kind.
You brought up the chapter in Ephesians 5 and this music perfectly does that. It DOES encourage us and it is spiritual songs. That verse covers the whole gamete. After listening to K-LOVE , I feel closer to God and genuinely more encouraged and refueled. There are literally more men singers on there than women probably, ok!! Lol.
Paul also said in those verses for women to wear head coverings buddy. And what church does that??!! Very few and the ones that do are very u scriptural on many issues. God is not sexist and besides, if you have a problem with a women pastor, that has nothing to do with Djs on there who aren’t preaching, just boasting.

God gave them up to degrading passions.

Their women exchanged natural intercourse for unnatural, and in the same way also the men, giving up natural intercourse with women, were consumed with passion for one another.

Men committed shameless acts with men and received in their own persons the due penalty for their error.”
— Romans 1:26-27

No matter what, sin should never be glorified. (Which is what is going on in this country) If we are followers of Christ we should never love sin, but love the sinner. Not sugar coat regarding the sin to spare feelings. How then will anyone come to Christ if we don't speak the truth? At that point there is a false representation of what GOD allows. There is this stigma that because Christians speak truth regarding homosexuality that we're homophobic or that we hate, that should never be the case. It should always be about winning souls for the Kingdom of GOD. Truth is homosexuality is an abomination to GOD. JESUS was crucified, buried and then raised from the dead so that we may be redeemed and to have an opportunity to be forgiven for our sins only in repentance. How do we win souls for GOD if no one plants seeds so that conviction and repentance comes? The word says that GODS people are dying for the lack of knowledge. Stop sparing feelings and give the word of GOD which is an open door to knowledge of what is acceptable to GOD. Love is not seeing our friends, loved ones or persons in general in sin and look the other way. For us that are followers of Christ we are likened to the 12 disciples we are fishers of men(mankind). Remember JESUS said to the woman caught in adultery go and "SIN NO MORE", not that it's okay to continue. Yes we should always speak in love, yet in still being a Christian does not mean that we are afraid to speak the truth, always with intent to bring awareness and to save souls for the Kingdom of GOD. As a follower of Christ There is retribution ( consequences)for our actions if we support or commend someone in sin.Its never okay to lead someone in sin astray. Love what GOD loves and Hate what He hates. "With Love have I drawn thee says The LORD"🙏🏾

I am Roman Catholic Mexican in Canada and so happy to hear songs that do not have swearings,violence against each other and reference to drugs abuse, negative human relationships, gangs, etc. finally thank God I found a great option 102.5 FM ( yes, we can get KLOVE in our radios on the Greater Toronto Area). I love to listen to their songs because they sound innocent, they are merry and rejoice in the Lord, It really makes a difference inside our vehicles and with our children, even our rebelious kids, cannot escape from these blessings made songs... may God bless you all and our Holy Lady of Guadalupe protect you and your dear ones, please take care and remember we have to defend our Families, values, communities and Church, we do not hate anyone, but reject sin, take care mis amigos, Vayan con Dios, God speed!

Wow! For crowd of people who all confess to love the Lord, we sure aren't being too loving toward each other. Out front, I will say I don't agree with any of the ABCDQTUDI (or whatever it may be today) lifestyles. What I do agree with is that as follower of Christ, we are called to love. That is it. However, there is scripture in both the Old and New Testaments that blatantly call out these alternate sexual lifestyles as sin. Period. You can't dice them up; you can't throw them out; they are not hard to interpret. Yet . . . at the same time, poor choices do not give us room to judge. My simple, very simple way to understand is this. Early on in scripture, God tells man to go forth and fill the earth (procreate). Aside from man-made procedures, I'm pretty sure that if there are 3 houses - 1 has 1 man and 1 woman, 1 has 2 men, and 1 has 2 women, there is only 1 house that has the possibility to procreate. Very simple, childlike example, but still. I have gay friends, I love them, and they me. The greatest compliment I ever had came from one of those friends. He said, "you are the coolest Christian I know. You absolutely do not agree with my lifestyle.
You strongly and boldly defend what you believe, you tell me why you believe what you believe, and even tell me that God can transform in ways we simply can't fully understand. And you still love me and respect me as a fellow human being." Perhaps I've planted a seed in his life, perhaps not. But I do know that I've spoken the truth in love and I believe with all my being that is what Jesus calls each of his followers to do. We are all sinners saved only by the blood He shed for each of us. Our only true job is to point people to Christ. He is big enough to convict, transform, and grow us into more Christlike people.
