sometimes love doesn’t fit the mold i’ve made

 

“ Then verse 22 introduces the question of whom you worship. “You worship what you do not know; we worship what we know, for salvation is from the Jews.” When all our efforts to be gentle and sensitive and respectful of another person’s religion are done, the time eventually comes when you have to say: biblical worship is true worship and yours is false. That will often be thrown back in your face as a statement of arrogance. But it isn’t. 

If there is truth, and you have bowed humbly before it, then to try to persuade another person to bow with you is not arrogance. It is love.”
