è I LOVED this article. I thought you were gracious, yet firm in your desire to see people see their problems for what they really might be.

We are Christian because the incarnate died and rose again. They will not "know we are Christians by our love."  They will know we are Christians by proclaiming the name of Christ. In a pluralist society, simply "living our lives as our testimony"
