Greetings and best wishes from Pilgrim Presbyterian Church in Vinita, Oklahoma.
Generally speaking there are few things that are either good or bad in themselves. Things derive their power to curse or to bless from how we use them.
When I think of the Church I tend to think of all the good it does. Yet, I am aware that through the ages people in the Church, and in all religions, have been a cause for cruelty and violence as well as for immeasurable good.
It is sad to think how religious extremists today are fostering hate and intolerance in the world, and in our nation. Didn't Jesus show us in the parable of the Good Samaritan (luke 10:25-37) how to act toward one another?
Be careful and avoid all forms of religious extremism! None of us has us has exclusive knowledge of the mind of God.
Thanks for visiting our BLOG today.
