For Not Against

Acts 19 the disciples are in hot water as the craftsmen who make the
image of the god Artemis realize their craft is at risk if more people
turn toward the Lord. What is cool is that in Acts 19:37 the city
clerk acknowledges that the disciples have not blasphemed, spoken down
on, Artemis.

Are we for or against? Sure we can be both but being for is a
positive call. Being against is negative and brings up the defenses
of others, creating a culture of antagonism. Wonder what it would be
like if we were known as being for...Christ, families, health,
holiness, serving those in need, etc? Surely being for is much more
attractive than being against!
