As long as there is distance between people all sorts of false thoughts can arise. We may label people, prejudge, avoid contact, and think of them as enemies.

Words minus action becomes lifeless knowledge and a spatter of chatter. Many quote the bible that speaks of God’s love, but if they do not live in that love, how much do they really know, and how committed are they in submitting to the Author of love?

John 5:17 NCV A salesman stopped to visit a client and was amazed to find a big dog emptying wastebaskets. ‘All part of the job!’ the dog said cheerfully. ‘Does your boss know how fortunate he is to have a talking dog?’ the salesman asked. ‘No,’ replied the dog, ‘and don’t tell him – or he’ll have me answering phones next!’ The Bible says, ‘… there is nothing... Read more

“So do you want me to release to you the king of the Jews?”  They cried out again, “not this man, but Barabbas!” Now Barabbas was a robber.  John 18:39-40 (ESV) What could make people so blind that they would want to release a notorious criminal and crucify the man who had healed their friends and miraculously fed thousands?
