In other words, what we're doing is not working and we need to check ourselves. Are we Kingdom people? Then it's time to act like either. It's time to live like people made in God's image. It's time to show grace and love to all people because this is what God does for us. #UMC #BeUMC #Christian

When someone grieves your spirit respond with prayer because this show an image bearer of God responds. God gives His best to everyone no matter who they are or what they have done. If we only love those who love us how is that truly love? Anyone can do that but God's people are called to do better.

Likewise, our culture tells us that love should only be shown to those who love us and that we should hate all who oppose us. What if the better way is this: "Love all." Let those with whom you disagree bring out the best in you, not the worst.

where the conduct of its members and the values of the Kingdom often are opposite to the conduct and values of the kingdom of this world."

Yee haw!

Indeed, it was!

Indeed. We’ve been running the AC in Mississippi.
