I was reading Caleb recounting the story of his spying with others on the land that God has given them. He and Joshua were the 2 out of the 12 that did not get scared and discouraged from what they saw.

It daunts on me that the men of conviction in this story and those who see things from God's perspective are in the minority. And I thought, isn't it the same with today's church and christian community.

Often, popular views are taken after the world's ideas based on humans who are limited and sometimes ungodly. Views that come out of seeing things God's way or from conviction through His words are often rejected because they clash with our own experience and thinking, or our understanding of the world.
