I wonder why so many opportunities for mercy get buried in judgment? How can we, time and time again, ignore the Spirit of Christ who transforms us and desires to be present through us?
"Think of the overwhelming perception among young outsiders that we are merely hypocrites. Does your life point people to a life in Christ that bursts with freedom to love, restoration, purity, and transparency? Or are you burying people -- insiders and outsiders -- under the weight of a self-righteous life? Do you lift a finger to help?
As a Christian it is my duty to ask: Are you lifting a finger now?
Which one?"
(Kinnaman, UnChristian)
Indeed.
