“There are two things you should never talk about: politics and religion.” Different words. Same message. Keep your faith private. Don’t bring it into controversial conversations. And whatever you do, don’t bring biblical convictions into politics. It sounds peaceful. It sounds respectful. It even sounds wise. But is it biblical? When Did Silence Become a Christian Virtue?

An encouraging challenge for us all. When your heart or mind is influenced by the Holy Spirit to reach out to another, do so with all immediacy. You never know what impact your reaching out will have on another man's life. John 13:34-35 Lexham English Bible 34 “A new commandment I give to you: that you love one another—just as I have loved you, that you also love one another. 35 By this everyone will know that you are my disciples—if you have love for one another.” barry/fs

"Everything happens for a reason..." (speaking for myself), and sometimes it's because I made a dumb decision." Passing off the consequences of bad decision-making is rarely God's will. My failure and unnecessary consequence stemmed from my lack of consulting my Heavenly Father first. Scott and I heard this guy speak on Sunday. The message is about how to study Scripture, including an example of dismantling a poor example of exegesis that freely misquotes and misinterprets a passage due to ignorance, ill intent, or misuse of Scripture. Probably the best five-step process—succinct and specific— for the novice or the pro Bible study guy. Frankly, it's the best I've heard. Here are the five points. Listen to the whole message. Again, excellent. By the way, Eric's message from the C2G Monthly Meetup complemented this idea wonderfully. Eric's work is the second PDF below. Hope this is helpful. Let me know. barry/fs
