We're just part of the mission, but we are part of the mission.

There is quite a bit of polarization between religion and secularism. Hardly a day goes by when we don't think of a religious person who is so passionate to talk to us or a non-religious person who just wants to be left alone. It feels like quite a mess. 

Paul brought us much of this challenge with his Christian mission. Today in Acts 13:38-52 he gives us a way through the challenge too. We'll take away a more humble view: we're just part of the mission (not the whole thing), but we are part of the mission.
