Never give up; you never know until you try.
I subscribe to a number of email devotionals, among them one from Dr. David Jeremiah. In a recent edition, he focused on unity and closed with a quote from Richard Baxter, an English Puritan church leader:
"In necessary things, unity; in doubtful things, liberty; in all things, charity."
Obviously, both pastor Baxter and Dr. Jeremiah were referring to unity in the Christian community, but I think it's a good lesson for everyone. Maybe our problems occur when we disagree on which things are necessary and completely forget (ignore) the idea of charity. Granted, we won't always agree, but as I've written before, it's better to disagree agreeably.
