interesting question...brought up by some interactions of late...how can people who want to be "in the world but not of it" actually live without making others into enemies? how can they live humbly and respectfully while still holding on to their convictions? how can they ascribe unconditional worth even when their respective "in but not of's" may be defined differently?...even within the same faith.
it's a tricky one.
and i worry that pride is often more of an influence than we'd like to admit...
how many lesson-filled moments do we miss because we choose the blame-game instead? how many fires do we light to rally a team when we could be learning more about each other and true fellowship? how often could we simply choose to not be offended in the first place?
