Sometimes, when your hub becomes dangerous, peacefully going your separate ways is what reconciliation looks like. But you can’t be vindictive and cruel, even if you were the one wronged.

Extending compassion and kindness to those who don't deserve it, THAT is the business that the Father is in. And Jesus is in His Father's business, and calls us to join with Him.

God has called you to love and to bless, even when your friends/family/neighbors/co-workers/church aren’t always loving or a blessing to you, or to each other. How you go about loving the people you love will make a huge difference in the experience of your life.

We often find ourselves in situations that may be dangerous, sometimes in physical danger, sometimes in relationship. But God is our ever present hope in trouble, and will help us find our way back to safety.

Jesus showed us what it means to live in the culture of His Kingdom, but it is our choice every day whether we want to align our lives with His or not.

As we encounter temptation, by the grace of God, we must stand up to it with all our might and know that He is with us.

Jesus calls us to do hard things like accepting that He is in control of everything, including the government and its officials. And if the earthly government collides with God, He asks us to have the courage to stand with Him still.

Don't let your circumstance steal your hope. You belong to God. Trust Him, and He will enable you to be a blessing, regardless of your circumstance.

Love must be the foundation the Church is built on. Nothing else is strong enough. Love is the identity of the people of God.

When we look around the church, we should truthfully say "These are the people I love." It’s about the person across the room, but perhaps even more right now it's about the person beside you. Do you need to do some relationship repair in your life Get it done, because that’s what love does.
