The past year has been full of many difficult challenges, and I often find myself "zoning out"--surfing the web, reading a novel, etc.--just to escape the pain, rather than running to Jesus.

I agree that our responce to unbelievers should be different than to those in the church. And sometimes it may be hard to know which responce is needed. Hmmm, somthing to think about. Thanks for pointing out the difference. It is hard, Holly. I agree that our responce to unbelievers should be different than to those in the church.

That is, of course, different from standing up for and defending truth. And it can be a difficult line to balance upon! I do like the quote that all that is needed for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing. But we do need to do our "something" in gentleness and truth. But, I think Scripture is very clear that we are to judge those *within* the church who are clearly sinning. So, to me, a key is whether or not a person claims Christ. For instance, in our own family, I had a non-believing sister divorce for a clearly sinful reason. I urged her not to for the sake of her children, but it was a very different conversation than the one we had with another sibling claiming Christ and seeking a divorce for the same clearly sinful reason. And while my fellowship with the sister is essentially unbroken--why would I expect her to adhere to a standard she doesn't accept?, the same cannot be said for the fellowship with the other extended sibling. It's all hard, isn't it, knowing the proper response in each situation? Blessings, Holly I think you are right on about not judging those outside the church.

It’s all hard, isn’t it, knowing the proper response in each situation?
