If you haven’t listened to someone’s teaching, don’t tell others what they teach. if you haven’t been to a particular church, don’t slam their...

Lord, save us from trouble, but help us to be people who get in the way of injustice and trouble the waters of oppression. Thank you for whispering to us that we are beloved. help us now to whisper your love to those who long to hear that there is a loving God. Amen.
