"In essentials, unity. In non-essentials, liberty. In all things, love."  Many pastors have quoted this saying, and though it's not from the Bible, we've found it to have incredible depth. But is it more than just something we quote?

In this fist part of a conversation about non-essential theology and Christian ethics, we attempt to begin sifting through some murky grey to find that black and white. Or maybe we discover that what we've made black and white can be incredibly complex.

When we let the complex nuances of Scripture dictate the theological circles we're willing to fellowship with, or even talk with for that matter, the Enemy wins. This is not plea for universalism, but it is a plea for a family that gets along. 

It's time to value relationships more than we value being right.
