Yeah, I have heard this one:
“Worldly psychology” vs “God’s eternal word”.
Common sense self-preservation vs clobber verse de jour.
Freedom in Christ vs “Get back in your cage”. (before someone else discovers they are free)

Good one, Persistent Widow!
Darn that worldly court. If only it was more godly, you could have stayed in bondage for longer :P

This hits home with me. I was on the verge of being disciplined by my church for seeking protection for myself and my children through “worldly courts.” The reason I was seeking help from the courts was because the church would not intervene to help me. So glad I found this blog.
