"...but of Love, of Joy and of a Sound Mind."

Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to make you stand in the presence of His glory blameless with great joy, to the only God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen. Jude 24-25

Love

"...[Christians] talk about unconditional love, but they live a conditional love... I think as an institution the Church does a good job of doing things and is probably the biggest doer of things privately but as individuals I think people feel like they feel justified by God. They don't feel that spur to have, like, works in a sense....Scriptures [says] that faith without work is dead... it says in James that, 'pure and undefiled religion is this: take care of orphans and widows and keep oneself unstained by the world.' That's a pretty bold statement. I think people confuse that with, thinking they need to convert everybody. That's not the issue. The issue is to love everybody."

Dustin Kensrue, frontman of Thrice in an interview with HM magazine.

After reading this interview I just had to comeback on line to remind myself this. I need to love one another. I need to love all and serve all. Wow, that is quite tough when it comes to some people. But it's a challenge and a call of God.

Help me!
