Being honest, over the last few crazy years I have been tempted to be disappointed and saddened by some of my Christian friends. Where I had hoped for a greater openness to investigate and dig more deeply to find out ‘What is the truth here?’ there was what seemed to me a nieve acceptance of a manifestly false ‘mainstream narrative’.
Yet asI have come to believe,
‘He gives us each a role to play.’
So this leaves absolutely no room for judging other people.
It’s all in God’s hands
On the other hand I have been so glad to discover others who do not necessarily profess to be ‘Christian’ but in whom I have witnessed the virtues of Christ through whom came both ‘grace and truth’ (Jn.1:14)
In this recent segment I thought Neil Oliver exhibited these two virtues in a wonderful way.
He humbly recognized his gullibility over much of his life and then the process of ‘waking up’ in recent years to the truth about how he and we have been ‘hoodwinked’. He now seems to acknowledge what the Bible says about the reality of ‘the world the flesh and the devil’
However he then took the opportunity to encourage those who had been ‘red pilled’ not to berate others but to be less condemnatory and more patient if they seem to be lagging behind’ on this journey we are all destined to go on.
I recall someone else saying, ‘There but for the grace of God go I’
I felt Neil expressed the perfect balance of uncompromising truth and magnanimous grace.
He doesn’t talk much theology but I have come to admire his Christ-like character.
The challenge came to me……When friends (and celebrities, like Dr John Campbell) get ‘red-pilled’ will I greet them self righteously with an,’I told you so!’ …or come alongside them joyfully with an affirming,’Yes! I know! Isn’t God good!’
I am still walking and talking with Jesus on ‘the Way’ discovering not only what is ‘Truth’ but also what is ‘Life’ for myself and for others.
………..as God continues to change my heart, to incarnate ‘the Christ’’ who is ‘full of truth and grace.’’
