We are Blessed. And We are our Brothers keeper. But I wonder how far we can go with that in practice? At what point does our duty to be our Brothers Keeper yield to the admonition to shake the dust from our sandals?
I don’t know.
I have noticed that I’m a lot happier working on things that are more obviously within my scope of influence.
Good question. Usually when you cannot gain ground via the HS and people slander your belief. I have a pretty radical atheist neighbor and he is kind but he sure gets quickly offensive if it even sounds like i MIGHT say something biblical. I laugh at this. Last time it happened was Thanks Giving. We were all supposed to be thankful for something but when it got to me he just changed the subject and dug in. Not shaking my sandals on that one but speaking of Jesus to him is not acceptable and he has his freedom of volition. But I’m his neighbor. Maybe someday he’ll ask me a question without the deriding comments.
