TEXAS BAPTIST FORUM:
Salt & lightIn reference to your editorial on some Christians' decision to remove themselves from society (Aug. 23): We must be “salt and light” in the world, not sheltered from it!
Our deeper problem is we shelter ourselves from real involvement and yet live so much like our neighbors that we cannot challenge anyone. Most differences are surface matters–we don't drink or smoke, etc. Otherwise, we share their priorities and lifestyles.
E-mail the editor at marvknox@baptiststandard.com Suppose Christian families really lived differently from their neighbors. What if they had fewer activities (ballet, soccer) and dined together almost every night? What if the family went together to visit a nursing home each week? Or regularly invited their neighbors over? What if they saw life in terms of opportunities to serve rather than opportunities for self-satisfaction? And what if they were known as the household to turn to in an emergency, because they love people?
