What it means to be an Evangelical Christian

Lets first start by what it dosen't mean:

1. That you hate homosexuals or lesbians.
2. That you are legialistic and judgmental.
3. That you can justify murder in the Name of Jesus.
4. That you agree with everyone all the time just to keep from offending anyone.

To me, what it means to be an Evangelical Christian is:

1. To love homosexuals or lesbians and yet agree to disagree agreeably with them.
2. You agree that the Spirit of Law is better than the Letter of the Law.
3. To NEVER attempt to justify murder in the Name of Jesus or in anyother name.
4. You occasionally disagree with others without being judgmental.

Evangelical Christian's have often earned the labels the world has given them. It is time we learned to love others as Jesus loves them. He dealt with sin in such a way as to draw other to Him, not to drive them away.
