I have experienced that if I model the "good neighbour" behaviour; others are likely to do the same. So, I believe that most people do want to contribute.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01543714786866741602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4185990666295373895.post-79127417928792328022010-07-06T11:01:52.590-06:002010-07-06T11:01:52.590-06:00Good questions you ask Linda, as they reveal the &...Good questions you ask Linda, as they reveal the 'prickly' nature of the subject.<br /><br />One of the first steps is to identify those who would call themselves Christ-followers in your block (or neighbourhood). <br /><br />As relationships deepen these verses give context to address the harmful forms of sexuality mentioned (& hypocrisy, the crooked, the rude, the greedy etc).<br /><br />As this so rarely occurs in healing ways we are often left wondering if it's even possible. 'Love covers over a multitude of sins' is a verse that springs to my mind at this point.<br /><br />Again, this is only in the context of those who already identify themselves as followers of Jesus & want to make a difference in the neighbourhood with you.Stew Carsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08311644130759205764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4185990666295373895.post-76906445363247818252010-07-06T06:01:06.971-06:002010-07-06T06:01:06.971-06:00What does it mean to clean house?

If a neighborhood is the context, how do you suggest approaching these prickly issues without making for bad relationships with your neighbors?Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01543714786866741602noreply@blogger.com
