Arguing Ants

antsfighting“If we begin to get a glimpse of the vast glory of God, we will realize that many of our conflicts are like two ants arguing about which is taller while standing in front of Mount Everest.

“We quibble over some infinitesimal difference of opinion while the vastness of Almighty God soars into the heavens.

“We need to stop looking at one another relative to ourselves, or, better yet, stop looking in the mirror. And we need to turn our eyes to the loveliness of Christ in his Word.”

  1. We’re concerned with what it means to be Baptist when most of the world doesn’t know what it means to be Christian.

  2. Good quotes from Chris’s book. By the way, Unpacking Forgiveness is a fine book and I heartily recommend it.
    If interested, see my thoughts here and here.
