As I was asking and answering some questions on here today it occured to me, maybe it's us. Maybe we, as in Christians, are the reasons why people turn their backs from the Lord because of HOW we approach the lost. I hear a lot about how Christians hound people and try to TELL them that they should take their life to the Lord. But maybe we're going about it the wrong way... I know that I do not like being hounded by the early Saturday morning salesman calling my home at 7.30 in the morning. Maybe thats how we are coming across to the people who need God in their life.
I know that we are trying to do the Lord's work, but maybe there are times to listen and times to speak. I am in no way saying, "do not preach the Word," but what I am saying is maybe we need to come up with a better game plan, rather than throwing the Bible at people.
I know its not ALL christians, but for some of us who point fingers and judge, remember "do not judge and thou shalt not be judged."
