Just me trying to be honest with God.

“We can't go around measuring our goodness by what we don't do…and who we exclude....

.... we've got to measure goodness by what we embrace…and who we include.” Chocolat (the movie)

“Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house.” Mt.5.15 NKJV

Many Christians are hidden within the four walls of organized religion. This is pretty much hiding your light under a basket. Apart from the workplace, there is little interaction between most Christians and there non-Christian neighbors. If we do not spend time with people whose beliefs differ from our own, how will they ever witness the beauty of God in Christ? Remember the criticism of the aloof Pharisees about Christ. "This man receives sinners and eats with them.” How can a disciple be a disciple and not do as the teacher has done? 11/16/2009 Conversations Within ts
