It is essentially apathy over insanity. The daunting proliferation of potential answers to a particular question dispels the certainty that any one answer is correct, or that any answers are actually discernible. The question then is which answer to choose, which largely depends on the perceived credibility of the source of the answer. I think this lends support for your conviction that we not underestimate (nor underemphasize) the power and necessity of establishing credibility. From a Kingdom perspective, this credibility is necessarily derived from the expression of Christ-like love in the Body of Christ, and outward, in tangible terms, to the world.Matthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16710700768667514897noreply@blogger.com
