Do You Have a Conviction?
11 September 2016
Do you have a conviction? Keep it to yourself before God. The man who does not condemn himself by what he approves is blessed.
Romans 14:22 HCSB
We condemn ourselves when we are arrogant about our convictions. Our convictions might work well for us but if we begin to puff up in pride we then begin to impose our convictions on others. We arw then into law and we woukd all agree law in not.pleasant.
We have had an interesting time in Sindhupalchok, and many many times we had a conflict of process, protocol and position. I was constantly having to say to my collegue, " we work with the culture, we honour their ways." However, to get things done we needed to push through reticence. Always honouring can be a challenge.
Fortunately, between ourselves we did not fight but worked things out. What an excellent experience this has been for me.
Because my collegue was insistent we came away making stwp5s down to a toilet that was 4ft below the houses and no way of getting there i am grareful we did not end up building a house as we would have struggled.
