What a beautifully written and insightful post, Cindy! Your emphasis on defending Christianity with love and truth is truly inspiring. How do you believe individuals can effectively balance standing firm in their beliefs while also showing kindness to those who may not agree?

Standing firm in your beliefs while also showing kindness to those who may not agree is not really a balancing act. If what we believe is truth from God’s Holy Word, we must stand firmly on it. We must also show kindness. We must do both. May God bless you, my friend!

It’s a challenge when you get abuse from people who are clearly not of the same belief. But we have to stand firm and stand up for what we believe to be true. Thank you for your reply.
