I agree it is important to view every aspect of life through a biblical lens. Everyone has a worldview, and if we do not keep the Bible as our foundation, it is easy to become swayed left and right. How great a reminder to view these situations as real life for people who are important to God–I find in my own experience that keeping in mind God’s heart for people can help keep me from becoming too argumentative or defensive when faced with difficult conversations and situations. Being gentle and compassionate can have a much more lasting impact.
