We have all heard the saying, “If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, then it’s probably a duck.” We recognize that different cultures and even animals have certain attributes or characteristics that are dominant.
What would be the dominant characteristic of a Christian? Our culture would respond, “The dominant characteristics are narrow mindedness or a judgmental attitude.” The media does help perpetuate this stereo-type, but I’m convinced that we are largely responsible for this perception. What dominant characteristic did Christ say would distinguish us? “By this all will know that you are my disciples if you have love for one another” (John 13:35). I’m convinced that we have the power to change the perception and we can only do it through the power of the Spirit. So, let’s yield to the Spirit and truly love Him and each other!
