Today’s prayer…
SAVING God, free us from hardness of heart, take from us all pride and pretension, strip us clean of all that makes us incapable of being witnesses of your gentle love. Â Make us worthy agents of your peace, so that even as we contend with one another the world may say, “But see how they love one another.” Â AMEN. Â Stanley Hauerwas
Peace, Jim

1How amazing would it be if that’s what the world had to say about Christians–“But see how they love one another.”
Too bad that we often give them ammunition for much more negative things.
But every day is a new day to astound the world with Christ’s love.

2Ben, sad but true. So often I think those outside the church could just about care less about what Christians are arguing about, but love to watch the show… What encourages me is a greater and greater sense of willingness to listen to one another and not just deliver our lectures. Great to hear from you again!
