I recall participating in a small group at a church where we were discussing a passage of Scripture that is challenged in our current culture. The leader of the group shared moving stories of his own journey of faith. However, as the discussion wore on, most of his comments began with statements like, “I changed and you need to change too,” or “I stopped this behavior, and you need to stop this behavior too,” and “You need to change the way you think, feel, and act and become like me because I have overcome these problems.”
