So I was thinking today whilst sitting on the tube, why do most Christians stick with Christians. Obviously it’s a good thing, support and help in something that matters. To walk hand in hand along a path of righteousness. Makes sense, of course it’s important. I was thinking however, sometimes maybe we do it too much, we depend on other Christians to much and the environment that comes with it. My thoughts resulted in this…do you ever remember when you were a kid, and built something great, say a treehouse? I built a few great tree houses in my day. Come to think about it, I wish it was still acceptable for a 24 year old man to build a treehouse! Anyway, on various occasions the bigger and badder boys would find my sweet hut and invade it, normally at first peacefully, checking out the surroundings and if they liked it would make it their own!

They decide what medicine or treatment would be best for the individual concerned. The reason why I find the statement interesting is that it’s kind of true, say you go to 12 doctors with the same problem, the chances of them all saying the exact same thing and giving you the exact same medicine and exact same treatment is probably slim enough. I’m not a doctor, so I might be wrong, but I am a human and we […]
