.. a Challenge to fight FOR unity...let's do it!!!

challenged EVERYWHERE to reclaim what the church is all about...  a community of forgiven sinners, only by His strength and grace able to strive to love like He does..
let's stop being Hypocrites preaching to the world about forgiveness and love and failing to live authentically and with integrity doing just that....yes, even inside the church...
slander and gossip, sins as grave as any other sin...my passionate prayer: REMOVE the plank in our own eyes and let us not get upset about the splinter in someone else's eyes... if you have nothing encouraging and edifying to say: STOP talking...check your heart.. pride and selfishness... get rid of it!!!

as the excitement is rising, only 17 sleeps until the Grand Opening of HOPE FOR LIFE PREGNANCY CARE CENTER, as we slowly are starting to grasp what exactly it is that God has called us to in this ministry... which is engaging in the fight to win souls... bringing hope and love and support... ultimately to advance the gospel.... it seems very timely that we are being challenged to be who we are called to be, a light in the darkness ...
to be challenged as in "To summon to action, effort, or use; to stimulate"
the challenge is to LIVE a Christian life, not by pretending to be holier than thou but by authentically walking the talk with humility, mercy and compassion...

what would Jesus do... it is a no brainer... HE is all about forgiveness, love and compassion... no judgement for the repentent sinner... He will remember our sins no more if we confess and turn away from them..
Praying for that kind of attitude to surprise the women that will be coming through the doors of Hope for Life Pregnancy Care Center... let's, one woman at a time, show them who Jesus is, by "together making the invisible Christ visible"
