"You are probably surrounded by unbelievers, by people like the rich young ruler. It's easy to look upon them as 'the enemy.' They don't share your values, nor do they desire them or respect them. They don't talk act like you do, and there's not way they want to! Maybe your natural response is to feel ill at ease when you're around non-Christians, to even try to avoid any contact with them...They can't act any other way because 'the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God' (I Cor. 2:14). Since they are not Christians, remember, they aren't the enemy. They are only victims of the enemy. Do as Jesus did. Look at them and love them." ~ Elizabeth George, p. 150
