Others

Others in Our Midst

We’ve always had others in our midst.  There is no One Way to respond to others—inside or outside our community.  Discerning how to respond to today’s Canaanites and learning how to live with today’s Rahabs and learning how to debate today‘s Stoics and learning how to rebuke and be rebuked by fellow believers, is part of the journey.  The Great Commission calls for a continual encounter with others, with our fellow believers and with our neighbors and with our Lord God, where community is by grace and not a matter of defended territory and starkly drawn borders.
