However, until the day of Christ, we should not wall ourselves off from the rest of the world. How can we witness from behind a wall? More importantly, what kind of witness does that wall bear, should we put ourselves behind it? <BR/><BR/>We know our future is set.

How do we live as Christians when we are called to care for those who would do us harm? I listened to a talk radio show that is led by a national evangelical leader. They were discussing how to raise children and this man was saying how children, and adults as well, should be removed from this wicked world, that the only way to save them from Satan was to close them off. Although those weren't his exact words, that was my interpretation of them. I wonder, how he would react in your shoes? Although I believe that you and your congregation will indeed protect your church, the fact that you are all struggling with the bigger issue is refreshing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
