Share one or two ways you or someone you know has lovingly responded to an attack on your/their Christian faith.
-
A lovingly response I saw was listening through an attack. This person listened to the accusations and responded when the person finished everything that they had to say. Their demeanor was gentle but firm and loving. They responded with the Word of God.
-
I responded by calmly listening to the concerns, then sharing my beliefs with kindness and evidence from the Bible, emphasizing respect and empathy throughout the conversation.
-
Show kindness and love to people attacking the Christian faith. Answer questions honestly and not hostile.

As the Facebook news feeds were recently poured full of news about the Olympics opening ceremony, there was so much hurt that quickly turned into vitriol. I saw some friends lovingly point out that while it was not okay to mock the Lord in any capacity, the lost are lost and we must be ready to lovingly explain the Gospel to them. They did not rehash that hurt and anger but reminded their friends of our charge as Christians and truly mourned for the lost.

During a church hurt situation, my friend used scripture to confront the person in a loving way.
