The advice I’m about to share is inspired by the story of the wise men found in Matthew’s gospel in the Bible. It’s an account many of us know well, thanks to its inclusion in the Birth of Jesus narrative and countless school nativity plays. Honestly, though, it’s a bizarre story which leaves me with as many questions as answers. Still, I am convinced that the mysterious wise men have much to teach us about following God’s direction in our lives. It doesn’t require us to follow a star (although that would be fun!)

You don’t have to go far on the internet, to find plentiful examples of posts in which Christians are accused of being idiots. Sometimes these attacks come in the form of lengthy arguments; in others, the accusations are short attacks full of swear words and vitriol.
