Pagans & Christians.
Shawn - I agree that we must be different from those around us and yes, we need to confess our sin. But we also need to be careful that we don't get so caught up on legalism that we miss out on the joy that Christ can give us.
There was a time when there were many things that I would not do, but over time I came to realise that I was putting myself under legalism and rules. Yes, we must be a witness to others, but we also need to treat others with grace.
In our church we have many different cultures and I've learnt that my upbringing is not the same as theirs. They do things that I would have called wrong at one stage - now I'm learning that each person has their own walk with the Lord. But of course, we don't want to cause a weaker brother or sister to stumble and we need to be mindful of this.
