"That's not who we are", hmm

There are so many interpretations of what true,

real Christianity is.

The same is true about all religions, nationalities,

ideologies and philosophies. 

People are not what they think they are.

They are not what they should be and they continually 

fail to be what they would like to be.

To govern this kind of mankind is an impossible

task for an honest politician,

but it's a great market for the accuser,

 the slanderer and

the Father of all lies.

It's grace that we haven't totally

 eaten up one another, yet.

Need to Talk

Talk to someone, to a real person, and you will 

be relieved.

Listen to someone, to a real person,

and you will see further.

Non-talking cultures are like volcanoes,

sooner or later they will erupt dramatically.

Then it will be too late to talk.

Too often

relationships become a game of looking for a good deal.

When friendships are turned into a business and 

a strategy they loose their glory.

Romans 12:10 encourages us to compete in honoring 

one another. This is a Christian choice, not looking for 

a good deal, but initiating honor.

Honoring someone means to show value in them.

This was special with Jesus.

 He honored women and children.

He recognized  the poor, the sick and the uneducated,

people who were unable to promote others.

Honor is an expression of divine dignity.
