    Default Reaching out to those who are different

    In the Old South, Billy Sunday reached out to the African-American populations of his day. This was in the early part of the 20th century where segregation was the rule of the day in most parts of the country. He preached the Gospel of salvation to everyone, both black and white peoples of his day.

    Jesus Christ reached out to the Samaritan woman of His day, and He gently pointed out her sins and forgave them by His grace. He healed the Roman centurion's daughter and also the Syrophoenician woman when He was sent first to the lost sheep of Israel. His example should be emulated by all who know Him as their Lord and Savior!

    Heck I'm different, so I am particulary pleased at this development! When it gets down to love, almost every sensory difference disappears.

    Christians should show love to all unsaved people to try and reach them with the gospel of our lord and saviour Jesus Christ!

    If we show love and kindness we will have a better chance of reaching them showing meaness and rudeness. All Christians should preach the gospel!

    Yes, somewhere in Hebrews, God states that He wrote His law and word into everyone's heart. So the "wisdom of knowledge" is in every man's heart. But those who follow the world are afraid to swim against the tide. When they see a christian living the word, they can then be emboldened to accept that God's grace is sufficient for their life and abandon the world's demands.

    This is why I think we need to live according to Christ's words of faith, love, hope and charity, with Love being the greatest of all. This physical witnessing is the strongest winner of souls we possess. (in my opinion)
