It can be difficult as Christians to determine how we are to relate to the world around us. In the story of Abraham and Abimelech, four myths are exposed:

Myth #1: It is only what we say that is important

Myth #2: We only need to yell the truth louder

Myth #3: We only need to be completely separate from everyone in the world

Myth #4: We only need to be like the world

Questions for consideration: (1) In what ways does you live speak to your neighbors? How is that good? How is that bad? (2) How can we as individuals and as a church stand for the principles of God’s Word today? (3) How do you testify for the Lord in your everyday life and opportunities?
