We are our own context. Very few people have even a limited ability to see from another’s point-of-view. Once we understand the minds of others more holistically then we understand Godliness and the sinfulness in others well enough to know. In a sense, one has to understand the mind of God to understand what true Godliness is and what defines it too.

I am just the same, Elizabeth! I so “get” what you are saying!

Why? The answer is simple. As fallen persons, we are great admirers of ourselves, our traits, and our talents. We are likewise inclined to believe that the world would be a better place if only there were more like ourselves.

Very thought-provoking, and a number of other items resonated with me (especially the one about intellectual people). But I find I’m also tempted to equate godliness to personality traits I don’t possess. This introvert tends to equate godliness with not quietness but social activity/friendliness. And then I feel depressed and overwhelmed because I will never be as outgoing as some other people I know.

This list is a great examination of all the diverse ways God gives people different gifts or strengths. We should appreciate them for being just that & not expect others to have those same strengths.

Or the musician with musical expression. Very thought provoking post, Mr. Murray.

On a humorous note, I found one more. The grammar-nazi equates godliness with using proper grammar. (I found this one upon reading your last sentence.) It greatly enhanced the power of the post for me, even though I chuckled at myself!
