When I press the issue too hard however, I end up alienating myself from the people I love and from those I come in contact with.
[Linked Image] Hmmmmm, ya know Tom, standing for the truth does have a tendency to alienate people. (cf. Jh 6:65-68; 8:40, 45; 17:19; Rom 2:8; 2Cor 4:1, 2; Gal 4:16; Eph 4:11-15; 2Thess 2:10; 1Tim 6:5; 2Tim 2:25; 3:6, 7; 4:3, 4; Jam 5:19, 20; 1Jh 3:18, 19)


Matthew 10:34-38 (ASV) "Think not that I came to send peace on the earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. For I came to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law: and a man's foes [shall be] they of his own household. He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. And he that doth not take his cross and follow after me, is not worthy of me."


In His grace,
