 Is there a such thing as a "bad" Christian? Some seem to think so:
"Help for those who have been harmed by Christians–and those who have inflicted the wounds. Throughout history, Christians have done considerable damage to others–both independently and in the name of Christ. Each time this occurs, one of God’s precious creations is wounded and the church’s witness to the world is grievously weakened. For years, unbelievers and Christians have rejected the church because of damaging encounters with a Christian, a Christian leader, or a group of Christians. No matter how much we wish to reverse the damage, however, we cannot reach the unchurched with the life-changing message of the gospel–nor can we protect those still within the body–unless we insist upon dramatic changes within our church communities. Targeting every person who has ever been hurt by a Christian–as well as those believers responsible for inflicting such damaging wounds–author Dave Burchett calls for a new way of relating that will bring healing to the church and transform our witness to the world."

 Teaching children to help their communities will allow them to develop compassion for others and they will gain a better understanding of ways to share God's love. They will learn skills that help them build positive relationships. It will also empower them to make a difference in the world around them.
Below are ten, simple ways children can show kindness: 1. Read a book to a local senior in the community. 2. Write a letter of appreciation to a U.S. soldier and his/her family. 3. Hold a door for someone. 4. Bake cookies for a friend. 5. Help a neighbor with their yard work. 6. Send a thank you card to the local police department. 7. Visit an animal shelter. 8. Clean up after yourself. 9. Pick flowers for someone who is sick. 10. Plant a flower or a tree. Please feel free to add other suggestions of ways children can show kindness! |
