Five Steps

 

This cartoon from Non Sequitur comic strips provides a 1990's perspective about the political identification process at that time.  Seem familiar?  

Jesus treats us as his sheep in need of protection and his insights.  Unfortunately, too many of us are sheep when it comes to following the herd.  We tend not to think for ourselves and think critically.  Many of us don't know how.  

It's fair to say many of us fall into the same trap with the Religious Identification Process.  Step 3 applies, and Step 4 follows.  This leads to divisiveness and houses built on sand.
