There was a time in my life where I use the Bible as a sword to tear down ideologies that I thought that I was too outrageous; however when I reflect I see that I sounded critical and judge-mental and now I make sure that I season my speech and grace, and consideration because that’s really where you can appeal to your audience, and putting yourself in their shoes help a lot , has there been any time where you came off a little harsh while trying to preach the word of God and how did you re-orient yourself from that experience?
Yes I think so too. The essence of Christianity is to reach people with love of Christ and that calls for treating people with dignity and respect regardless of who they are, what they believe at the moment. @becca-r I agree with you that we are to garnish our communications with grace and love as we try to reason with people.
