The Outsiders: “Convicted and Compassionate”

As Christ-followers, we are called to be people of deep conviction, but also great compassion, But on our culture those two values are presented as contrary to one another. The world says that if you are a person who believes in right and wrong, you can’t be a loving person. People with biblical convictions are labeled as narrow-minded, judgmental and mean. And no one likes to be called names, right? So many Christians cave on their convictions. And many churches reinterpret Scripture to square it with what’s accepted in our culture.
