OF GNATS AND CAMELS (Mt.23:24)

David thoughtfully commented on yesterday’s DT.

  “Thanks Ed.  An interesting story I heard a while back:

A speaker at a large Christian conference began his talk by saying, "80% of the world's population is unsaved."  After pausing for a second, he then asked the crowd, "Can you believe that sh*t?"  (His verbiage not being censored).

  There was of course a large gasp from the audience.  After the murmurs started to die down the speaker then asked, "How many of you were more offended by the word I just said than the stat I gave before that?"

  To your main point, we must not be tricked into missing the big picture because we're bickering about something minor.  Titus 3:9 is good instruction here.  It doesn't mean we condone minor but still sinful/inaccurate behavior, we instead focus on Godly prioritization.  Discernment doesn't only involve right vs. wrong, it also weighs important vs. insignificant, and worthwhile now vs. best addressed later.”
