Christians are widely viewed as one of the loudest, most easily-offended groups in America today. When we see behaviors we don’t like, when public laws don’t match up with our preferred beliefs, when we are personally criticized or corrected, when others don’t live up to our expectations—the knee-jerk response within the evangelical church has become one of outrage and rhetoric. This is a far-cry from the heart of Jesus who taught us to turn the other cheek, and who, himself, endured accusations and abuse while maintaining a posture of confident humility. If the Church desires to make an impact in our culture today, we will need to recapture and embody the meek and mild love of Jesus.
