In the midst of a very busy week at work...but some thoughts from my morning devotional reading...
The writer presented the idea that today's Christians are the physical evidence of God's love in the world. The idea of evidence is particularly appealing to me, probably due to my legal background and, in the course of doing appellate work, how much I am analyzing evidence to make one argument or another. Evidence is typically submitted in order to assist in the making of reasonable inferences drawn therefrom in order to support a specific conclusion or finding. As such, in this situation, the way Christians carry and present themselves is submitted to the world in order to support a given conclusion - be it the truth of Christianity, the presence of God's love, and so forth.
Thus, the natural follow-up question - is the evidence convincing? If an impartial trier reviewed the evidence, what would their conclusion be? What is our role as presenter / reviewer / listener of this evidence?
