Stuff Worth Hating - borrowed from Mike Griff

Let me tell you what I hate... I hate seeing people lonely, isolated, cut-off, lied to, and disconnected from the One who is Life itself. I hate it. At creation the first thing that God ever said was not good - was someone alone. That's why we are trying to build community. That's why we are trying to life together. That's why we believe in unity. That's why God blesses unity. And that's why we MUST continue, through the ups and downs, to do life together, with the Holy Spirit present and leading us.
That kind of togetherness is why God continues to add to our numbers. As we do Life together, we find that God is in our midst. Then when we are with others, we find we bring Life to them. Jesus in us, Jesus with us, Jesus through us. Life to people who are missing something. Our privilege and our responsibility.
So may we renew our determination to do Life together. And may we renew our love for others that compels us to bring Life to them, wherever they are.
Loving others, because He first loved them,
