This made me think of another seeming paradox in our faith journey. We should only be close friends, or work closely, with other believers. And yet we know that one of the most effective forms of telling others about Jesus is to come alongside them, befriend them and show them God's love.
So, how do we apply these verses in our lives today? And yes, I'm asking you, and being deliberately provocative too :)
- How do we avoid working and living in a Christian ghetto?
- Should we leave our jobs if there are non-Christians working there?
- How friendly can we be with non-Christians?
Those are my questions, but what about you? Do you have any good or bad experiences that could shed some light on what Paul says? Leave a comment and let's begin the conversation.
