But all that has happened recently....the cross road....the decision....and most importantly, the motive and factors that have left your denomination "united" with sin....I have followed closely. Believe me when I say to you, you have reaped what you had sown and will continue to reap that which you sow. Your answer is to "stand in the middle". I ask you....were these words of wisdom from God or words of method reasoning? I would advise any reader you may have that as disciples of Christ we enter the world each day as ambassadors of Christ and his kingdom—sensitized to the effects of sin—loving others by seeking their welfare through the proper ordering of things and relationships. We look for and respond to opportunities to bring relief to those who are suffering. We seek the good of others and when possible, we create systems and institutions that serve the common good and promote human flourishing. We work for remedy in the daily situations and when necessary, the reformation or abolition of whole systems that oppress. We disciple people in the Truth, showing them the way that leads to a life that thrives through having a right relationship to God, to self, to others, and the rest of creation.Duanehttp://escapefromnod.blogspot.denoreply@blogger.com
