People change, all the time. Good, bad, sometimes indifferent, but change occurs every second of every day. I know that I don't understand life, I know that I don't have a slightest idea compared to God, but I know that as a Christian I have a responsibility to Christ, and I know that God outlines that within the bible. "But indeed for this purpose I have raised you up, that I may show My power in you, and that My name may be declared in all the earth." Exodus 9:16. Christians have a responsibility to God and others just as government officials have a responsibility to look out for the people. We cannot allow our view of Christians, or anyone for that matter, to be tainted by the bad sheep. Every group, every organization or body of people has someone that they do not wish to be associated with, someone that threatens to ruin reputations and burn bridges. I apologize if I lose some of you who do not believe in God on this one.
"Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God. And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren." Romans 8:27-29. Although we won't always know what God's purpose for us is, we know that all things WILL work together for good. God has purposed us to follow him, he will fight for us, he will raise us up that he may show his power within us, for all to see. Even if you have the slightest belief in God you must understand that, "Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels, nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 8:37-39 Nothing in this world can separate us from God except for ourselves.
