"GOD...EXPECTS US TO TAKE A STAND"

“If we had been holier people,” Templeton wrote, “we would have been angrier oftener.” Which translated means: Never endure what is not in itself essentially good, or designed to make everybody’s world a better place, or, in the end, really good for your own development. To violate any of those things is to violate the will of God for creation. God, scripture shows us, expects us to take a stand.

KINDNESS

Don’t ever be afraid to be tender. Kindness is what saves lives and gives love to the dead of spirit and the dark of heart. Human warmth is the key to happiness. It will melt the hardest of hearts—even our own.
