What a moment in the courtroom, just now. Botham Jean's brother Brandt took the opportunity to forgive Amber Guyger, tell her to devote her life to Christ, and then asked the judge if he could give Guyger a hug.
The judge, wiping tears from her eyes, allowed the moment to happen
A relationship will not fulfill you like Jesus.

to the people who have been hurt by the church, i’m sorry. i hope you know that even though christians are supposed to represent Christ, sometimes we do a really crappy job. we aren’t perfect. we struggle just like you. whatever your experience was, i hope you know God wants you.
Oh yeah you can. You can do all things God places before you in Christ’s capable strength. He’s already seen this day from 1st to last. All the grace & power you need is heaped up & ready for your real schedule & not the theoretical one on your calendar. Go reliant but confident.
Wanting the benefits of Jesus without the sufferings of Jesus, isn’t actually wanting Jesus. That’s not an unconditional love. Unconditional love is taking on our suffering, and offering us undeserved benefits, because Jesus wants us that badly. Now that’s true love.
We do NOT have a gun problem...
We have a societal problem...
We have a lack of Faith problem...
We have a lack of love for humanity problem...
We have a lack of family problem...
Guns don’t kill people....PEOPLE kill people and it’s our culture that needs to change!
Just the other day I walked into the Hudson Oaks Walmart w/ a friend and turned to her and said, “something could happen at any time. It’s not just at schools. A shooting could happen today while we’re here. I hate that.” And today it happened once again. In El Paso. In Walmart.
