This past Sunday I thankfully got the opportunity to make it to church (which my work schedule make difficult at times). Our pastor surprised us and joined our class and while we had some neat discussions in the class, a discussion he, the teacher and I had after class stuck out to me. It got mentioned that The Apostle Paul and Jesus Christ were not afraid to “get in a man’s face” at times but it was selective. The Jewish Spiritual/Cultural leaders challenged Christ and He did not back down. Paul confronted Peter (Gal. 2:11-14). Every time it was just as Christ said here: people who knew enough to know better. I should also live up to what I have learned and that can be a tall order.

I pursue as my goal the prize promised by God's heavenly call in Christ Jesus. Therefore, all who are mature should think this way. And if you think differently about anything, God will reveal this to you also. In any case, we should live up to whatever [truth] we have attained. (Phillipians 3:14-16 HCSB)
