applied theology

if someone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles. give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.  -matt 5:41-42

the question is, where does kindness end and spinelessness begin? where does peacability peter off and doormatting take over? where does righteous indignation give way to wounded pride? what do you do when you have a sneaky suspicion you are being freeloaded on?

Christ Jesus, who, being in  very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped,  -phil 2:6

the bible has an inconvenient way of putting things.
