    Don't Wound the Wounded

    We need to not treat people like the Pharisees treated the woman caught in adultery. We need to treat people like Jesus did. He spoke the truth in love. He wasn't soft on sin. But he was loving and kind to unbelievers and to true believers in him. He was only harsh with hypocrites who judged...

    Depends on how far we carry it. Evil spreads so fast, it seems; love? Not so much. Pray to be better carriers of good than evil, sharing stories of good acts rather than stories of wickedness. Stop reading news stories about shootings & hatred; that only spreads Satan's sick reign. Share...
