Re: David Bernard - Is this statement biblical or
This tweet seems to be part of a mini-series. Here are a few more recent tweets from DKB along the same vein:
May 19 - We cannot sacrifice righteousness and consecration from a sense of unity, for "the friendship of the world is enmity against God." Jam 4:4
May 20 - We cannot sacrifice ethics and love due to righteous indignation, for "the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God." Jam 1:20
May 23 - We can treat fellow believers and even unbelievers with integrity, courtesy and respect without compromising our convictions.
May 24 - We can act in a loving way even toward those who attack us, and in doing so we display the holiness of God. Matt 5:43 - 48
May 25 - We can faithfully speak the truth but learn to speak the truth in love. Eph 4:15
Personally - I don't find a lot to disagree with.
