The Church today doesn’t seem to appreciate nuance, or love. We adamantly shut down arguments for one while justifying the rejection of the other.

Apparently, we prefer emotional extremism over truth and virtue.

In the last week, I ran 6 miles in the Arizona summer heat and 2 miles on a treadmill in an air conditioned gym. I planned for more, but I cut it way short in the gym; I prefer being outside. Something about the gym felt pointless and boring.

Give grace without the expectation of reciprocity because, despite the goodness of mercy, (not only do most not understand the depth of grace) most vehemently reject the concept entirely.
