Friendly fire

Those who attack our person, our property or our freedom are the enemy.

Those who simply disagree with us are not.

Our culture is being groomed to crave drama. Reality tv is good evidence of this. The more groups we can get arguing, fighting and attempting to destroy each other, the better off we are. Or so we are told.

The circle of churches I am associated with has a proclivity to behave this way. We criticize over non essentials even to the point of separation. Biblical separation certainly has its place concerning biblical issues, but not the color of my tie or my decision to wear facial hair.

Good people are hurt and sometimes lost because of friendly fire.

Relationships that could result in persuading someone to our perspective are lost because of friendly fire.

Be careful who you are shooting at.
