Where do I stand?

Where do I stand when I head about the public promotion of all things Christian? I can't say that I disagree with it , no , that would make me a heathen and a god hater. Where do I stand when I see the need for a genuine move of god in my geographical and cultural part of this world?

Where do I stand when I hear about the number of people coming to Christ in the mission field? Is it the same fudging of numbers and half truths about results that I experience at work? Or is it something to be genuinely excited about?

Where do I stand when I have to realize that even in things that I am skeptical about and organizations and messages that I see as damaging and dangerous, there are genuine genuine people among the fakes and the frauds. And where do I stand when I realize the fakes and the frauds are just like me?

Where do I stand when the two diametrically opposed sides of philosophy religion and politics that I ascribe to at the same time, start to attack each other? Where do I stand between right and left and why can't I find more people willing to stand in the middle?

Where do I stand when I step back from righteous anger and realize how wrong I was? Where do I stand with god? And where do I stand with myself?
