What You're For Or What You're Against?

Hey, Y'all,

This was supposed to go out last night but I guess there was some sort of network hiccup 'cause here it still is--odd. :-) Anyway, hope you had a relaxing weekend and have gotten started on another great week--even if a few of us are a little under the weather. I don't know where today's thought originated, but it did strike me enough to get it down on paper and think about it a bit...

Do you find it alarming, then, to think that Christians are often known for what we are against, rather than what we're for? What we are for, or rather what we ought to be for, is for the Good News of a love so "wide and long and high and deep" that it encompasses more than any of us could ever imagine (Check out Ephesians 3:16-21 for more on that concept).

Hmmm...so if you think about it, what we ought to be for, what we were in fact made for, is for love, and joy, and peace, and kindness, and... (check out Galatians 5:22-23).

So what are you for?

You've been prayed for today...
