I had been praying for boldness and words to express my concern.
Obviously, these worshippers considered their pantheistic beliefs both tolerant
and all-inclusive.
How could I show them that a ritual to a universal god could not include my God?
And how could I demonstrate the love only found in Jesus Christ?
Finally, I asked with some trepidation, “May I share why I didn’t participate?"
Several people nodded, so I continued:
"As a Christian, I want you to know that my lack of participation was not a sign
of disinterest or lack of caring.
I believe my Lord calls me to demonstrate His love, but He also tells me
to worship no other god. You seem to believe that all gods are one.
Would you want Christians to disobey their God and renounce His uniqueness
in order to join in universal rituals?" |
