Dave Havir - On Your Road to Damascus

Dave Havir, reflecting on the expression, “You've stopped preaching and have gone on to meddling,” suggests that he would like to do a lot of meddling today, reminding us that we are all figuratively on our own road to Damascus, all of us individually learning what we need to learn. Sometimes we seem to have learned things that others have not yet grasped, but others may have grasped what we don't yet know. Sometimes we have blindspots that others see. We need to think of correction from others as adjustment.Sometimes the adjustment may come from people behaving righteously, exemplifying Godly behavior. We sometimes recognize piercing correction from total strangers. Saul of Tarsus, having a superb pedigree when it came to training in the law, having uncommon (albeit misplaced) zeal to the point of persecuting others, received a massive re-adjustment on the road to Damascus. Do we need a road to Damascus experience when it comes to our faulty understanding or perhaps our shabby treatment of others?
