Perceptions of Christianity

I guess to some degree we have to ask, shouldn't Christianity have an image problem? I think I remember Jesus saying that we would be hated, despised, "sheep among wolves", etc. Does that ring a bell?

The key question then becomes...Why do people feel these things toward us? Is it because you bring the truth or it is just because you are a jerk in the way you present it? I'm not sure we can know for sure how to answer that one every time we engage with secular culture (perceptions of behavior will differ), but we can pray for grace and wisdom along the way!
