"It's wrong". Actually, after critical examination, I think it's right.  What do we define as wrong and right?  And by what standards? 

I find that we are so quick to put something in a particular category as long as we are at the benefitting end.

The interesting thing is that people attach this flawed norm to the Bible. We seem to select verses that suit us and relate with "easier" things we think we can work with. I'm appalled that we haven't recognized that such a norm, limits advancement and growth in any aspect of our lives. 

Most people say, "I do not want to be a typecast but I don't want to be left out so let me be (normal)". By which standards? 

I've had instances where I was condemned for doing something I loved and felt was right, but I was criticised because it felt wrong for the apprehender.

We need to wake up as a generation. I know change is difficult but don't ever associate your fear with religion. 

We said our parents were wrong with their approaches. How are we going about ours? By subtlely dismissing creativity and innovation because we are afraid of change? Then, how different are we from our parents? 

The church is the hub of innovation, creativity and knowledge. Diversity is encouraged in the Lord. We need to learn to understand that there are dimensions in the Spirit of God and the church. Stop cutting ideas short because you don't agree with them. The question should be is it in line with the word of God? Not culture! 

Let us tell ourselves the truth, and respect our differences. The selective criticism and condescending attitude will not enable growth and advancement.  

You are in no position to think of yourself better than anyone. It's Grace that has located us all so why all these? 

Let Love Lead! We are all one and the fact that I don't agree with you doesn't necessarily mean you are lost. Let's normalize seeing things this way and create a world where we are 'homes' to the Lost.
