A thought by Leonard Sweet, (2012-03-13) in his book, What Matters Most: How We Got the Point but Missed the Person (Kindle Location 597). Random House, Inc.. Kindle Edition. This is a form of plagiarism that we don’t seem to be using. Notice how we respond when someone wants to wish us a happy holiday instead of a merry Christmas. Or how we’ve handled the just past election and those who were on the other side. Or those who are on one side or the other on the gun issue, or those who love Fox News and those who don’t. I’ve just noticed that I’m not showing much of God’s love in what I just wrote. It had a judgment tone to it, didn’t it? The truth is, love shows its truest form in dealing with someone who disagrees with me. Didn’t Jesus say something in His hillside sermon about loving your enemies? Our stands that we make in Jesus name goes a long way to show how weak or strong our relationship is with Jesus. They show how much we really know Him.
