Quotation of the Week07 Nov 2009 12:30 pm

Q: So every Christian is called to be a pacifist?


A: Yes, absolutely.

Q: So how do you respond to people who say that’s unrealistic?

A: Try lifelong monogamous fidelity in marriage. Do you think that’s
realistic? Yet we do it. I’m not terribly cowed by the charge of being
unrealistic.

    Erika - I like this, thanks for sharing. It’s funny how we as Christians like to pick the things we find “odd” or “unrealistic” in the Christian life. I think normally it just conforms to whatever our culture has told us is “normal.” Anyway, thanks for posting. Hope you and the family are feeling better!

    peace
