From a survival perspective, it makes sense for people to stay alert to negative information; in order to stay safe, you need to be aware of the dangers. However, from a kingdom perspective, it is adaptive for members of the body of Christ to stay alert to positive information about others. In order to stay unified, we need to override our natural tendency to focus on what we perceive to be negative information about other groups and instead stay alert to the positive information that they bring to the table of faith.
