On one side, the side you ignored, the LGBTQ culture requires all people to endorse and approve its lifestyle. If that does not happen, the person is fired, publicly humiliated, silenced or protested. Now, even in some schools and even cartoons / newest Disney movies, the smallest of children are indoctrinated to accept LGBTQ lifestyle as acceptable and welcomed. Now, in some schools teachers assist children into the LGBTQ lifestyle and keep it from their parents. Most media outlets berate those who believe that the LGBTQ lifestyle is incorrect, especially those Christians, Jews and Muslims who do so based upon Biblical grounds. Where is your article addressing this? I couldn’t help but wonder if the purpose of this article is to preach to the culture for its approval. It could certainly not be your intent but…

Jesus was full of both Grace and Truth. (John 1:14) Your article calls upon grace. It must be there for Christians. Learning how to be kind and caring for ALL people is the lifestyle Jesus introduced to us and called us to live out. Loving others has to be the first step to reaching others with the gospel of Christ. The church today is struggling how to do that at the level Jesus did and called us to do. Many churches aren’t even trying.

But Jesus also called us to holiness and truth. I didn’t see that in your article. Jesus said in John 15:18 “If the world hates, you know that it has hated Me before it hated you.” He goes on in that passage to address the sinful behavior He had called out and explaining that by doing so, He was hated by the world.

In your articles, Jesus is full of Grace. I agree with you. We as Christ followers must possess the passion of love toward all. My struggle with your articles is that tend to ignore that Jesus was also full of Truth, or at least you just give it a wink.

Many endorse both grace and truth but choose Grace, with a capital G and truth with a small t. As I have read your articles, they tend in that direction. That direction tends to be “a medicine bottle with no medicine in it.” At the end of the day, you have little to offer a lost world that is separated from God. Churches who are choosing this direction are pleasing to some but are not aligning with the whole Word of God. Others choose grace with a capital t Truth. That direction tends to be mean and self-righteous. They believe they are the embodiment of Jesus while forgetting that Jesus was also called, “the friend of sinners.” Churches who are choosing this direction are pleasing to some but are not aligning with the whole Word of God.

Being a Christ follower in which both Grace and Truth are present is difficult. I think your articles are struggling to figure out how to do both, just like the rest of us. Until you can come to both, openly and thoughtfully, you are not actually bringing anyone together. You are just being self-righteous.

You call out others who disagree with you…and actually malign them, thankfully without names. So, I am calling out you and challenging you to be a capital on both Grace and Truth.
