Every now and then you will see someone with a bullhorn or boombox standing on a street corner or on a college campus ranting and raving about those who do not believe in Jesus going to hell. The question is does this fairly represent the Christian faith? The answer is no. Jesus says no way to PDA (Public Display of Affliction). Those who are following Jesus do not threaten people with condemnation. They represent Jesus by sharing His love for them through kindness and acts of service. You cannot threaten or frighten people into a relationship. Jesus did not come to condemn you. He came to love you. It is His deepest desire for you to receive that love and to share that love with those who have not yet experienced it. It is a love that not only will change your life, but a love that will change the world.
No PDA
