It seems so antithetical to the teachings of Christ to proclaim your faith in public. I mean, of course you're not supposed to hide your light under a bushel.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Christians often want to hide behind the walls of the church, where we are comfortable, but sometimes we have to come out of the box.
Flesh sells. People don't want to see pictures of churches. They want to see naked bodies.
God requires his servants to walk in the light, and not cover their eyes that they may not discern the working of Satan.
You can't hide God in you. God was not meant to become part of you, and you hide out in the closet. I don't think He wanted that. I think He wanted people to see the Christ in you that reflects Him.
I feel like if I live the Christian life, then the people should be able to see it in my everyday actions.
The gospel needs to be preached all over the world. You cannot light a candle and put it under a roof.
It is dangerous for mortal beauty, or terrestrial virtue, to be examined by too strong a light. The torch of Truth shows much that we cannot, and all that we would not, see.
It is intolerable that in our country citizens should feel so upset and under assault because of their religious choice that they would conclude that they have to hide.
Of course, my faith has a lot to do with being able to be public without being a public nuisance.
In faith there is enough light for those who want to believe and enough shadows to blind those who don't.
