We will never always agree. (We have different perspectives.) But we can always love and accept each other. (Christ has accepted us!) Express love and acceptance to someone with whom you fundamentally disagree.

Jesus sets us free from our concern for our personal interests. We are no longer slaves to self and fear. We have been set free to serve others in love. This is what will change our world!

We have been given both the ministry and the message of reconciliation. This is our time to love our enemies and pray for those who oppose us. This is our time to pray for each other and our leaders, not to speak evil of them.

The vastly diverse Body of Christ, having been mysteriously reconciled to God and to each other, is God’s plan to reveal his wisdom to the world. That’s us! We are his plan!

The opportunity for reconciliation IS the Good News of the Gospel! Our reconciliation to God requires us to be reconciled to each other! You cannot be reconciled to God if you will not be reconciled to people!

In a Pandemic Culture of Conflict,
as Children of God and Followers of Jesus,
we are not overcome by evil;
we overcome evil with good!
That’s our bottom line!
That’s what we do!
Romans 12:9-21

We need to pray!

We are Followers of Jesus First! Our citizenship is in heaven, but we live out our citizenship on earth, as it is in heaven!
Chuck Foreman – Teaching / Missions Pastor
As Followers of Jesus, we march to the beat of a different drum. We are Christians First, before anything else—before our politics, before our opinions, before SELF! And we let Jesus inform the way we think and the way we live. We love God by loving our neighbor. “Others First” is our motto. The Apostle Paul put it this way, Romans 15:2-7.

Bad News: Suffering is part of the deal! It’s the only way to prevent conceit in us.
Good News: God uses suffering to make us humble and dependent on him for our strength. God’s purpose in our suffering is always something good!
