Eric Liddell, as played by actor Ian Charleson, reads a section from Isaiah, chapter 40, from the film Chariots of Fire (1981).
This video is intended as inspiration to those whose faith may at times waiver under the spiritual duress many Christians may experience during their lifetime. It is probably only of interest to Christians.
It is important to remember that those who are not Christians will judge Christ, unfairly or otherwise, based upon the behavior of His followers. All too often, as Christians we repel people from Christ because of our hypocrisy, selfishness, and overall lack of humility when dealing with others. Granted, the aforementioned human flaws are not unique to Christians by any means. However, others will be repelled from Christ if we hypocritically preach while simultaneously acting in a fashion counter to our proclaimed beliefs and rules.
As Christians we should keep in mind the following:
"...we either bring people nearer to Christ, or we repel them from Christ."
----Eric Liddell
Therefore, I would urge fellow Christians, myself included, when interacting in casual manner or within the realm of debate to act with charity and honesty.
