So much that goes on in a day-to-day church scenario is ancillary to its foundation. <BR/><BR/>Truthing in love seems to me to entail not being bothered by someone else's Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02498526034591365354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29608097.post-53508084108081001802007-04-27T09:07:00.000-07:002007-04-27T09:07:00.000-07:00I forgot to put in the post (it got really long), ...I forgot to put in the post (it got really long), but I was thinking about it like a dance. You don't typically pull someone who doesn't know the steps to the side and tell them how stupid they look. You guide them and keep them moving.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11470283761189392205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29608097.post-37145361673412805492007-04-27T09:05:00.000-07:002007-04-27T09:05:00.000-07:00Excellent post Heather!And Jen, I agree.

How many other verses do people use to condemn others while proudly saying, "I spoke the truth in love" or "the word of God is a sword."<BR/><BR/>I love what Anne Lamott said, "You don't have to cut with the sword of truth; you can point with it."<BR/><BR/>All of that leads my train of thought to the stump and speck of dust lesson as well.<BR/><~michelle pendergrasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04963999375035588206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29608097.post-66963857381889116482007-04-27T08:51:00.000-07:002007-04-27T08:51:00.000-07:00I think that's exactly the point, Heather.

We tend to use that verse, and others like it, to bludgeon others to our point of view, when it's really putting the onus on us to be humble and understanding of others.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09688638274582413200noreply@blogger.com
