"Anyone who claims to be in the light but hates his brother is still in the darkness." -- 1 John 2:9

We talk a good talk when it comes to right and wrong, God and spirituality, and other lofty topics.  But then when life is real and in our face, we have no problem it seems speaking poorly of our fellow man. Look at the "news" we watch... consider the way we drive on the roads... listen to the gossip we support, even if its through our silence.

If we are going to bear the emblem of Christ, we must do so through showing God's love and grace to others as it was shown through Christ himself.  Otherwise, it's all just for show.  Let's be real.

Readings:  Daniel 8:1-27; 1 John 2:1-17; Psalm 120:1-7; Proverbs 28:25-26
