Kindred,
My heart is heavy in disappointment towards those that
were supposed to uphold freedom, decency, love, kindness, and integrity of the
Lord with the Lord.
The pain from the abuses at the hands of hypocrites
and false ministers that are more interested in the sins of the flesh and power
of Caesar than eternal life, still hurts.
I am sad, that after countless sacrifices of good women
and men, we have not moved beyond the abuses, hatred and sin.
How can we move beyond, when our very ministers and
leaders are engaged in patterns of bad behaviors and abuse of power that rots and
corrupts the moral fiber of church and society?
When inalienable rights and truths are ignored and perverted
into weapons to divide and conquer into hatred, sins and lies, then everything
we hold dear and all that we are become under threat and endangered.
In sad and uncertain times, we must have the bravery
to bring to life the teachings of Christ by holding ourselves, our ministers
and leaders to the highest standards of moral conduct, and uphold freedom,
decency, love, kindness, and integrity of the Lord with the Lord.
Perhaps by applying bravery to teachings and really living
the Life in life, we can then move beyond the abuses, hatred and sin.
