Christians are not required to be doormats.
I’m not sure you meant your post to be judgmental, but it sure read that way.
If the shoe fits, wear it. If it doesn’t do not.
I followed the story in the lede article and it seemed a feeble thing to defend. This was not the aggressive gospel preaching of campus ministry legacy. This was a talk about venereal disease.
If being a mat made it possible for someone to walk into the door of the kingdom, YEAH I would be a door mat! This is the position of Jesus.
