TO ONE WHO BELIEVES
JESUS IS LORD
HIS CONDUCT IS GAUGED
BY THAT BELIEF
BUT WHAT SHALL WE SAY
ABOUT THOSE
WHO DON’T BELIEVE
LIKE THE JEWS
WOULD I WILLINGLY CONVERT TO A CHURCH
THAT PERSECUTES ME
WHOSE NOBLE LEADERS
HAVE OFTEN CALLED
FOR MY ELIMINATION
OR AT LEAST MARGINAL LIVING
CAN WE BLAME THEM FOR NOT BELIEVING IN JESUS
WHEN CHRISTIAN CONDUCT BELIES HIS TEACHING
HINDUS
BUDDHISTS
SHINTOISTS
HAVE OFTEN FELT THE LASH OF CHRISTIANITY
MUSLIMS HAVE OFTEN BEEN ACCUSED OF FANATICISM
HAVEN’T CHRISTIANS ALSO
PRACTICED HATRED ON OTHER RELIGIONS
EVEN OTHER CHRISTIANS
EVEN TODAY
CHRISTIANS ARE KNOWN
MORE
BY WHAT THEY HATE
THAN WHAT THEY LOVE
THE GREAT COMMISSION
MAY EITHER BE
HISTORY REMEMBERED
OR PROPHECY HISTORIZED
EARLY BAPTISM WAS IN JESUS NAME
BUT CHARITY
DEMANDS
THAT WE GIVE OUR NEIGHBOR THE BEST
AND JESUS IS MY FAVORITE HOLY MAN
HIS MESSAGE NEEDS SAYING
BUT KINDNESS MUST BE SHOWN
TO ALL GOOD MEN
WHO SEEK GOODNESS
NO MATTER WHAT THEY CALL GOODNESS
WE MUST GIVE THEM THE RIGHT OF CONSCIENCE
FRANCIS OF ASSISI
IS QUOTED AS SAYING
PREACH THE GOSPEL
USE WORDS IF YOU HAVE TO
WE WOULD BE WISE
TO HEED HIS ADVICE
