this passage is about watching out for people who lead others astray spiritually and morally. the biggest lesson i take from this is to be one who's not a sucker. i hate being had. so i guess the burden that this passage places on me is one of dedication to knowing christ and his character. i should read the bible more and be engaged in more discussions to find out what christ is truly like. that way i will have a less difficult time discerning what things are not proper or righteous from a christ-like perspective. man, all the conviction i'm getting from reading the bible is really becoming overbearing! a couple of weeks ago it was giving more generously, last week it's thinking of/caring for people, this week it's more bible reading . . . what am i gonna do with all this responsibility?? i guess i just have to weigh these items to find out what i dislike more: 1. being taken for a sucker, or 2. spending more time in the bible. i guess it perturbs me more when i've been taken. the verdict? i definitely need to be more involved in figuring out the character of christ.
abuch out.
