Suspicious vs trusting?
Closed vs welcoming?
Profiling vs equality?
What would Jesus do?
He gave these instructions to his disciples:
Matthew 10:16 (KJV)
Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.
It isn’t either/or. It’s both/and.
Trust none; for oaths are straws,
mens’ faiths are wafer cakes, and
hold-fast is the only dog, my duck.
From Henry V; don’t know the Act and Scene offhand
I am amazed at the detail you carry in your head, Andrew.
