1 Corinthians 9:19

"For though I am free from all, I have made myself a servant to all, that I might win more of them."

One thing I’ve learned from my time in Europe and Asia: people are very different from one another. I mean they are way different. Whole societies view things and see them the exact opposite way that my home society sees them. Beyond that there are huge differences of value and perspective within a culture. When dealing with other people who see things differently, we are not bound by their view, but if we want to minister to them, we need to put ourselves under their system of thought as much as is allowable biblically.
