Do we merely trample overtop them and forget that they have feelings, sensitivities, needs?

If we are going to continue pestering the world with the fact that we are Christian had we not better, return to His cross again? Paul has said so well, "He died for the sins of the world." If so, let us meet again this Man of Calvary - let us give our lives once more to Him - and let us live in the Spirit of His Presence.
