I am just curious people today are so afraid to say one thing is wrong. Jesus didn't come and say everythign was okay. Jesus came and brought judgement and in that judgment there was also redemption and love. Look at how He dealt with Isreal judgment/chastisement to love and redemption. IT seems like there is no longer a holy indignation for the Lord the way David responded to GOliath as he was cursing God and Israel. Why can believers today not be like that in some sense. SOmetimes I feel like we have become weaklings afraid to step on toes, afraid to set robust boundries that have existed since the beginning of the church. Don't get me wrong I am all about grace, and forgiveness but everythign is not ok. Jesus never implied anything of the sort. I do agree that it is so important to see the importance of relationship, and how God's grace is good enough for anyone. However are we supposed to sit back and say everything is ok? I don't think so but it is a tough balance because who am I to expect a non-Christian to live like a Christian, that is obsurd. I just think that it is important to not be afraid to say something is wrong.
