Weekly Word from the Wisdom Walk
How do we respond to strangers, religious people, when they knock on our door?
Are we rude, condescending, judgemental, or just cold and unfriendly?
If we are right and the person knocking is wrong, aren't they just as in need of being shown the right way? Saying I'm a Christian and slamming the door does nothing to advance the cause of Christ. It sounds trite, but if we are to be different, we must learn how to disagree in a godly manner so we don't become known for being just plain disagreeable.
If we are believers, we should be the first to be kind, offer a smile, and share the love of Christ. For all we know, the person knocking may desperately need to know the work of redemption is already done, and that Jesus is the one and only Savior of the the world.
