It's a pendulum. We can't let it swing to far either way.
Sitting in one camp only hardens the heart to the work Jesus is wanting to do in you and with you.
Being hardened through battle is not necessarily the same as just being hard.
Zechariah 10:5
“They will be as mighty men, Treading down the enemy in the mire of the streets in battle; And they will fight, for the Lord will be with them;"
Agreed. Though one can lead to the other. Men can make it there personal mission to eliminate something all the while never once reaching out to God to ask what his will is. They turn themselves into the justice and tie it in a pretty bow of " it must be God's will"
Everything being said between us, paints the full picture. It's always a good idea to identify the extreme, then we can come together in the way God wants
The extreme of what? Jesus wants us to be extreme.
I thought of the Pharisees. They were extreme but for the wrong reasons. Sometimes we (including myself) tend to get stuck in our own understanding, self-righteousness, or zeal that we miss what God is actually up to. Stand firm, but make sure you are still operating in God’s character (fruit of the Spirit).
