I see so many happy-looking families and smiley-faced "Christians" living their safe and politically correct lives that they no longer standout. Everyone just does what is best for themselves these days; no one cares about being a real Christian - which would be completely weird and controversial in the modern world. (On Earth Jesus was considered a rather mean RADICAL.)
Anyone that truly lived like Christ would be criticized and be called a fool in our 21st Century World. Jesus Himself said that if someone truly follows Him, the world will hate them as it did Him (Matt 10, John 15, Mark 13, I John 3). I know. I dare say what the Bible says and in so doing correct the false teachings so many people (even my own relatives) have falsely held since childhood.
Having peace and love would be nice, if it could be done without compromising or twisting Christian values. However, Jesus said that He did not come to bring peace, but rather a sword. He came to set even family members against one another (Matthew 10: 34-37).
We have changed Jesus into something He was and is not. Jesus called people names repeatedly, ignored people, discouraged non-Elect from following him, talked disrespectfully to people in authority, and He is and was God. We should stand up and be like Him against evil, should we not?
Peace with love would be nice, but is NOT possible in the world we live in.
