I’ve just watched TV ads and seen posters and talked to addictions workers about a new Saskatchewan government program called DEFY (“alcohol denormalization”). There is no sugar coating the destruction that alcohol abuse causes. In one ad the young man beats up his friend. In another a young girl contracts herpes. Our society gets it! You don’t have to wait until you die. Life can be a living hell.
So, grace needs to be offered to those around us – mercy for those whose sky is falling in. A Muslim infidel (she has become an athiest) was speaking on a radio show yesterday. Although she does not now believe in God, if a Muslim were to hang on to a God, she implores them to chose the Christian God. She claims the Muslim God is angry, unforgiving and vengeful – with seemingly no mercy. She looks at a Christian God who is loving and forgiving. Chose life and love.
An interesting evangelist for Christianity! I’m not sure she has a well rounded perspective on God but the point is made. With hell around us, walk to God who is revealed in Jesus Christ.
Who are the evangelists now?
