The last thing they need is to go to another Bible study.<BR/><BR/>You nailed the whole "superior" thing. Having been down this road myself (and spending several years repenting of it), learning about Jesus without proactive application won't produce a Christ follower. It'll produce a Pharisee. It'll contribute to the already crappy view that a lot of people outside of Christianity have about us--that we're judgmental hypocrites. God forgive me for the time I wasted "lengthening my phylacteries" instead of imitating Jesus...<BR/><BR/>I'm looking forward to the rest of the posts, and how we can "turn the tide."Aaronnoreply@blogger.com
