Whose Side Are You On?
                    
                        
                        We need to worry less about whether God is on our side and worry more about whether we are on God's side.

            THE CALL TO RECONCILIATION
            We are called as brothers and sisters to reconcile with one another.  We are called to live in community, not a solitary life, but a life bolstered, supported, and challenged by one’s fellows.
          
         
                
                
            
            
            A DIFFERENT POINT OF VIEW: LOOKING AT THE OTHER SIDE
            More important than freedom of expression is the realization that our view is 
always limited; we do not hold a monopoly on Truth.
          
         
                
                
            
            
            A LANGUAGE WITHOUT WORDS
            What might happen if we would 
simply set 
aside the words that describe our agendas in life, and try to 'lift 
up 
and bear with' those who are different from us or who disagree with us?

            There's no better time to let go of our old intolerance for those who see things differently and open our eyes to the abundant love of God.
