There is a lot in the Bible that we don’t pay attention to/ignore completely.  We like to make excuses for this, say Jesus changed the game, but he (in Matthew) said that he didn’t come to change a single bit of the law.  So why do we still all pick and choose?  What does it mean?  And most importantly, why are we picking and choosing what we’re picking and choosing and what does that say about us?

When we look into the world we can see how chaotic and dark and even evil it can be.  We as Christians are called to live differently.  We are called to bring light and be kind, just like Paul called the church to be in his letter to Ephesians, but what happens when those outside of the church seem to be representing these things better than the church?  The world is chaotic enough we shouldn’t add to it, choose instead to be kind.
