"Poor Christians!"
"Poor Christians!"
Christianity in Canada has declined by 25% in the last 20 years. In a recent poll, "Evangelical Christianity" was the only religion seen as being more damaging than beneficial by every other religious group. Our non-Christian neighbours are more like to describe us as misogynistic, transphobic, and homophobic than generous, friendly, and caring.
"Poor Christians!"
Is that what we should say?
It's not what Jesus said.
Listen to this week's sermon to see how Jesus would rather have you respond to adversity, based on his own reaction to people pitying him on the way to his death on a cross.
