It can be difficult to discern what God truly wants in this age or any age. There are disparate voices in the world and church, just as much as there seem to be conflicting Scriptures in the Bible. When leaders cherry-pick verses and passages to suit their angle of persuasion, and they oppose each other using the same holy instrument, the world of Jesus’s spirituality suddenly turns murky, even scary, especially when it comes to choosing the “right” ethic to own and espouse.

I deliberately keep this non-specific because I believe it’s true not just of this age, but of all eras.
