Encouraged

So encouraged from Uncharted last night, and our discussion on the importance of intellectual roots in our Faith. We studied how the Bible as a whole stresses the importance of knowledge, but dove into Paul's statement in 1 Corinthians that all knowledge and Faith means nothing without love.

We talked our experience in ministry, and all the times we've ended up just trying to win an argument, rather than letting compassion for the person be our focus, with them knowing Jesus being the end goal. Lots of interesting discussion.

When is it righteous anger, and we are we taking too much of a burden upon ourselves?
When do you shake the dust off your feet and walk away?
How do you form a relationship with the person without condoning their sin?
What are some tangible ways of finding the sweet spot between knowledge and love?

Oh, and he's a picture of a baby seal that snuck in to nap on my couch.
