When you die, God isn't going to ask you about someone else. He won't ask you about the two men down the street that got married. He won't ask you about the girl who had an abortion. He won't ask you about the atheist that lives on the corner. He won't ask you about the woman who feels more comfortable as a man. He will ask you how you loved those people as He called you to do.

Amen

When you live in Culture War Mode there's always a battle to fight, a side to take, and people to fear. When you live in God's Kingdom there's always a stranger to welcome, a neighbor to befriend, and an enemy to love.

Amen
