Faith Commentary: Hens and chicks
I am a father of two children who are now adults. They have given me three grandchildren. I have memories of the times my children have been hurt or became ill. I know how I felt when I could comfort them and soothe their hearts. God loves us more. He loves with a love only God can give. Only He can heal the sin-sick heart. May we never forget God’s love for us and His ability to comfort us and save us when we let Him.
COMMENTARY: Shut them up!
Some folks have some interesting takes on free speech. They will rail on someone’s opinion, then insist that the person’s opinion be removed from public view. Then, they get upset when their personal attack is removed from public view.
Faith Commentary: Loving the unlovely
People will not care for what you have to say until they know how much you care. The best churches I’ve ever been part of are those where most of the congregation shows one another genuine love.
