the church, on culture

tight perspectives
woven often by a reinforced sense of self-preservation in the face of pressure

responses to things like addiction, lifestyle choices, heresy in ways that are black and white with no reasons, and with no attempt to understand the alternative mindset and how to assist in some way. abstaining from a fellow human who you believe is in trouble... that's cowardly and irresponsible. we have the answer. or do we? if we're not willing to share it as the answer, then maybe we don't have the answer, we merely believe in the idea of the answer. internalizing practical truth is crucial to engaging the world correctly.


a warning for the church, not a blanket classification.
