share with u an extract from teck horng's devotion for today...

"Speak the truth to your neighbour (neighbour can mean anyone ard you). The word "truth" here is not what we perceived as personal laws that demand judgement of others. Truth here means God's love. Speak God's truth. Speak God's love.

"Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers."
-Ephesian 4:29

This verse urges us to edify and impart grace to hearers. Speaking the truth is not about debating that you are right. Incontrary, it is the meekness of our conversation with others that we can win them over."

the last point reminded me of a conversation i had yest and serves as a reminder to the attitude we should have when sharing our faith to pre-believers...it is really not about comparing what is right or wrong abt the faith we each have...we dun have to condemn any facts or justify any rights, but most importantly, it is abt how we present our faith to others, how we reflect His name and glory...so the next time you share Christ with others, bear this in mind and potray ourselves as true disciples of Christ...
