Thought this was a very good point before we (Christians) post... “Love is patient. Love is kind.” Our culture tells us it’s our right to comment on everything, regardless of whether it was addressed to us and without consideration for how it might affect others. WE HAVE BEEN GIVEN COVERED SPACE FROM WHICH TO THROW GRENADES, WITHOUT REQUIRING US TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE WEIGHT OF OUR WORDS. We’ve replaced face-to-face confrontation with sharp comments and mocking memes. We write demeaning tweets addressed to celebrities or openly criticize individuals we have never met, hiding behind the convenience that they cannot directly defend themselves and nobody is putting our personal lives on display for public criticism. We have been given covered space from which to throw grenades, without requiring us to take responsibility for the weight of our words, their effect on other people and their reflection on the Church. Jesus said the world would recognize us by our love. What messages are we sending? ~ Cara Joyner
