Tag: Christian Discipleship

I was visiting with my friend Lynn and we were talking about how people from my part of the country are inclined to like spicy food.  The topic of Tabasco sauce, that distinctive hot elixer cooked up by the McIlhenny family down in Avery Island, Louisiana, came up. Lynn said she could never understand why her brother put Tabasco sauce on lasagna.  I told her that was unthinkable.  She said, "Right.  It ruins the flavor of the lasagna."  "No, I said, "it ruins the flavor of the Tabasco sauce."

Sometimes we see things from different perspectives, depending upon where we stand.  Some may think the influence of the Christian faith ruins the flavor of the culture in which we live.  Someone else may conclude that the culture in which we live might ruin the flavor of the Christian disciple.  Let's try to keep ourselves spicy!
