Kindred,
Do not sow fear or hate; both worthless unproductive emotions, which will move you further away from productivity, love and peace, and the Lord.
Do not give footholds to hate and fear.
Remove the rotten apples least it rots the whole barrel.
Keeping different varieties of apples are fine, but not the rotten ones.
The pledge of allegiance is to the flag of the Republic and the Lord, not to terrorism and hate.
“No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon."
- Matthew 6:24
To serve the Lord is to serve the people (with love, empathy and kindness, not with hate and fear).
