Allies and enemies?

We look at a major issue in our society today: the insistence that people are either our allies, that they completely buy into our priorities and stand side by side with us as soldiers - or they must be considered enemies.  We consider a man whom I knew as a boy, a man who married a woman with 7 young children.  This man did not live that way.  He looked for the good in people.  He looked to improve himself.  He was a man of faith who walked in the Kingdom of God, and was not trapped in the Kingdom of this world.
