If Jesus said his disciples would be known by their love for others, then when we claim to follow him but we are known for our bullying, our mockery, our callousness, and our contempt for others, we are actively taking his name in vain.
Love must be our reputation.
This is why I love Junior Club Championship weekend. A player showed up with 21 clubs in his bag, and his shirt inside out.
We informed him about the clubs but not the shirt, and he smashed off the first tee.

The members of Trinity Moravian Church in North Carolina purchased nearly $3.3 million of local residents’ medical debt for just $15,048.
Then, they held a debt jubilee ceremony and burned up the debt, canceling it all.
“If we strive to establish God’s rule through self-assertion over neighborly care, pragmatism over principle, and malice over love, then whatever else we accomplish, we are no longer following the way of Jesus.” @CTmagazine https://t.co/WurBdmcgjN
God comes in ways we do not expect. To avoid missing the message, we need to let go of our expectations of how we want God to tell us truth. It may not be with a host of angels with trumpets. It may be a brown child in Syria or a queer woman in Chicago.
@AerobicJim I first heard that song when I was 14 or 15 years old and it wasn't until I was a grown adult that I learned the lyrics weren't "Save the whales, save the whales, save the whales."
When 2 groups of penguins meet on the road, they stop for a short exchange of information. When one of them moves in with the wrong group, a friend goes after him to bring him back🙂🐧🐧🐧
If you are more upset about Ime Udoka and the Celtics situation than Brett Favre STEALING MILLIONS IN WELFARE MONEY FROM THE POOREST PEOPLE IN OUR COUNTRY IN MISSISSIPPI then you are part of the problem.
