Yes, we have to love ourselves, and we are told to "Love others as you love yourself" so that doesn't mean we shouldn't love ourselves. But it's clear that we already know how to love "me", so we need work on loving "you". <br />Thank you, Amy !Keturah Lambhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05041749245034077912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2538625224020600073.post-55486499166921238792019-06-03T02:35:55.429-07:002019-06-03T02:35:55.429-07:00Oh my word that second quote makes me mad.

I can't stand that modern belief that's permeating everything these days, that makes everything about you and your happiness and is basically egotism. On one hand sure, you gotta look after yourself, but God calls us to be servant-hearted. We should be putting others first! Our happiness should never be a priority! I get so annoyed when people start puffing themselves up and talking about "self love". It's so arrogant. <br /><br />Love this post, Keturah!

I particularly like--yeah, the middle one is a bunch of garbage. I mean. There are situations where you have to stand up for yourself? But that's a different thing than extreme individualism where the Me Monster is at the center of every decision. Ugh. I reeeeally like that C. S. Lewis quote.<br /><br />And you're so right, being persecuted doesn't always mean you're right! If that were so...well, if that were so, history would make no sense because look at the religious wars at any given time. There are almost always atrocities on both sides.

And that last one I was hesitant to get into, because I also agree with principles of it, such as I believe in absolute truth, and that it's wrong to be silent concerning truth. Bonhoeffer loves to debate theology, and once when someone told him you couldn't save someone by debating, he said, "While it's true you can't argue one into heaven, you can't love them to salvation, either. And I believe there are more examples of sound reasoning doing it's job than flighty tolerance." (I'm paraphrasing ;p But yeah, screaming truth at one's face only drowns out the words so that all you can see is a hateful person ;D <br /><br />Thanks, Lily!

Yeah, I'm just here. >< Woopsy.<br /><br />Anywho, I really enjoyed this post!! I agree on all those points you're making!! The last one can easily be good, but it can also easily be bad. As my dad says, "There are two sides to a fight, and neither person in the fight is going to be 100% right." He says there is always a middle ground. We as Christians don't just need to beat people over the head with Bibles, because they'll react negatively to it. But the non Christians should at least give us the time of day if we gently explain what we're meaning to them. You can't get anywhere by screaming at each other. Nobodies point is going to get across.<br /><br />Awesome job, Keturah!!! <br /><br />~ Lily Cat (Boots) | lilycatscountrygirlconfessions.blogspot.comLilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14557838622386125541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2538625224020600073.post-18381402270407690002019-05-22T20:28:54.004-07:002019-05-22T20:28:54.004-07:00It seems to be a pretty popular modern belief sadl...It seems to be a pretty popular modern belief sadly ;/ But yeah, C.
