A FRESH POINT OF VIEW
I know not the source of this gem. I have shared it with thousands. It has blessed my life in so many ways. I hope it clarifies things a bit for you, too. Here it is:
"Christianity is not just a way of looking at certain things, but it is a certain way of looking at all things."
It is not my intent to judge others, but it seems to me that with some folks, simply having a few matters crystallized into a human creed or belief system, is about all that is important. Thus, looking at certain things in a certain way pretty well sums up their scope of understanding. This, to me, is so limited.
To define Christianity as seeing a few things in a different light is too selective. Viewing all of life from a Christian perspective offers us a greater understanding and comprehension. (II Cor. 5:17)
Another meaningful observation: "The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes." - Unknown author
If we as Christians can look at all of life in a manner different from the way the world sees it, we have taken a giant step forward! - Tom Butterfield
