Christians are often chastised for being known more for what they are against rather than what they embrace. The complaint stems from the belief Christians are supposed to bridge the gap between various ways of living by simply showing the love of Christ.
Does this mean compromising our beliefs in order to win acceptance? What exactly should this bridge look like today?
I listened as a lone woman from Ohio cried out against the desecration of one of our nation's foremost cathedrals. I listened in horror as she was forcibly evicted from the sanctuary so the ceremony to offer prayers to another god could continue.
Where were our so-called Christian senators and congressmen/women? What will it take for the Church to see that any bridge that allows for the casual disregard of the claims of Jesus is a violation of our Faith? This is not about politics; it's about standing for Christ.
Exalting any other name above Christ's, in the house dedicated to God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit, is a bridge too far. In the words of Scripture, "the end thereof is then way of death."
