A topic was discussed in our community group that I've confronted in the past, and now I'm pondering...
Background... Jesus spent a lot of his time with people making sinful decisions without ever compromising his values, and he was also able to build relationships and trust within those circles. A perfect example.
As a Christ follower, you find yourself in situations in which people are doing things or saying things that you choose not to partake in. This is the point that the tables are turned. You're labeled the goody goody, the person that doesn't understand, too good for the group. Without making any judgements towards anyone else, you're the one being judged. How is this avoidable? I'm not sure it always is, but there is something to be said for loving words and non offensive body language. When trust and relationships are developed this isn't normally an issue but unfortunately sometimes it is. No one said it was easy to do the right thing.
