We just have to limit the type of interaction we have with some types....we can still walk in love towards them and pray for them as I'm sure they do for us too...Paul and Barnabas had to part ways for awhile too...it's all good. The Lord will work things out. He will be caught in the act of being Himself to all of us!
Enjoy your week off and relax and have fun!

There is a truth, you get what you are sensitive to.
If you are looking for bad things, there are always bad things in a day that will happen.
If you are looking for good things, there are always good things in a day that will happen.
So what you are sensitive becomes that which dominates.
Now the difference between intended problems and manufactured problems is normally offence.
Once you take offence, then the world is against you.
Jesus said turn the other cheek, not because it is superior or good, but because most offence is not intended.
I have never intended offence to anyone, I am interested in defining positions and shedding light on them.
I wish no ill will on anyone, but continually saying so and so is lying, causing problems and we are the innocent victims is playing a counter productive game.
The truth is if there is a miss-understanding define it.
From one simple interaction today, different interpretations are turned into insults and degredation.
It only hurts the people who do this. It ends badly for no gain.
So I counsel walk in the way of Jesus, be patient and listen. Walk in their shoes.
If you cannot do this, then it is your own personal problem.

If you say morals matter, the next question is why?
Now in a world where sin no longer is sin because it is forgiven before it is done, the consequences of sin still happen.
So the only thing that is changed is God ignores it.
When did God say he ignored sin? Only when it is replaced by righteous behaviour by the previous sinner.
Jesus provides this ability. To enable righteous behaviour.
Interestingly after many months of people saying that is wrong, legalism, some admitted they were open to holy living.
This language is odd because being open to holy living is not exactly enthusiastic, it is like saying I would like to eat, but can take or leave it, it is not essential to staying alive. Nope. Righteousness is about following Jesus, there is no other way.

We need to "Awake to righteousness and sin not"....Awake means to come to one's senses - to sober up to be who you really are.
Righteousness only comes from Christ and what He has already done for us in the new creation - the new man created in righteousness and holiness. We don't "do righteousness" to become righteousness. That is the humanistic way and every moral religion in the world goes by this model.
The Lord did not die on the cross so that He could bring a behavior modification program for the flesh. He brings an exchanged life where we die on the cross with Him and we are raised to newness of life.
Romans 10:2-3 (NASB)
[SUP]2 [/SUP] For I testify about them that they have a zeal for God, but not in accordance with knowledge.
[SUP]3 [/SUP] For not knowing about God's righteousness and seeking to establish their own, they did not subject themselves to the righteousness of God.
