Bubbles

Every group has bubbles. Contractors, comedians, media elites, politicians, athletes, the raw-organic community and the Church cliques. Bubbles happen when you create a world where you spend most of your time, and then assume everyone thinks like you.  

For example, most people working for Hollywood can’t imagine why anyone could possibly act as a Bible believer about anything. Agnostics, atheists or communists - the world seems to evolve around them. The same is true for other bubbles. Because they associate with the same people, speak the same language, experience the same lifestyle, they assume everyone else must live like them.

But they don’t. That’s the danger of bubbles. You lose touch with reality. A lot of politicians spent most of their life living off taxpayers without even driving a car since their first day in office because they have chauffeurs. A rich person can’t imagine actually buying clothes off the rack from a local store. Someone inside the LGBT community has no context for why someone would oppose a so call “alternative lifestyle”.

How about you? What bubble do you live in?

Bubbles are ultimately destructive because they shield us from the reality of the world. They keep us from understanding how other people think. Bubbles create intolerance and build walls.

So get out. Take a risk. Start a conversation with someone outside your bubble and see what happens. Pray that your bubble is going to be burst by sharing Jesus with an outsider, letting the Holy Spirit penetrate “their bubble”.
