All of us, at one time or another, fall victim to thinking the challenges we face as followers of Jesus are brand new and unique. That as long as people have tried to be weird like this, no one has ever come across what I’m wrestling with right now. And we might search the scriptures, like we should, and still come up with no good answer for what to do. And so let me remind you to “Remember your leaders, those who spoke the word of God to you; consider the outcome of their way of life, and imitate their faith. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.” (Heb 13:7-8)
