It would be hard to add anything to your article; perhaps only this personalized application...Whether words or actions... or even both... people are going to misinterpret whatever they feel like misinterpreting. If people have some emotional attachment to an idea, belief, relationship, ethnicity or god... they'll conjure up whatever 'defense' they choose to. We know from scripture that only the Holy Spirit's awakening power can effectively draw them into a Kingdom understanding, repentance and trust in Christ as Lord.That said, we still do the very BEST we can to demonstrate & enunciate the gospel. My advice? Let me pass along what a marital counselor once told me... "Neil, it's not so important that you be understood as it is that you NOT be MISunderstood." That is, over time, you can BE more & more understood, if you don't shut down communication with a misunderstanding first. How to apply that here? For me personally, I include the use of the internet for a clear writing of my story/testimony (at my personal site).... for anyone who cares to read it.And I maintain a neighborhood website that includes helpful neighborhood info, pictures, videos, and links to personal sites (including mine).

Whether words or actions… or even both… people are going to misinterpret whatever they feel like misinterpreting. If people have some emotional attachment to an idea, belief, relationship, ethnicity or god… they’ll conjure up whatever ‘defense’ they choose to. We know from scripture that only the Holy Spirit’s awakening power can effectively draw them into a Kingdom understanding, repentance and trust in Christ as Lord.
