... or are they more likely to know we are Christians by our judgmental attitude and our slight frown of disapproval when we come across someone who's not behaving quite right?
I've got the song running in my head but sometimes the things we sing that we do and the things we actually do are poles apart. How often do we expect people to conform to our list of expectations when we've not first had time for them, we've not listened to them, we've not served them or met their needs?
Some of the unfashionable choruses are the most challenging.
AND THEY'LL KNOW WE ARE CHRISTIANS BY OUR LOVE*

*I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another. (John 13: 34,35)
