All Things Goofy

On this joyous night I want to share something that has been on my heart for a while. I think we need to re-examine why it was that Christ joined us and walked among us on this earth. He did not come down to tell us everything that was wrong with us, or what we should be doing differently, or how that we choose to worship Him isn’t the proper way, or to solve all of our problems in the blink of an eye. He came down for one reason and one reason alone…..to love us. That’s it. This really truly should be the Season of Love….and it should be something that lasts all year long. So as the eggnog disappears, the holiday pounds accumulate, and the decorations go back in the attic, let’s focus on loving each other…especially the least of these and those who we beleive don’t deserve it….liberals & conservatives, Democrats & Republicans, gays and straight, liars, theives, murderers, cheaters…

As BIlly Graham said “It’s the Holy Spirit’s job to convict, God’s job to judge, and it’s our job to love.”

Luke 7:22 So he replied to the messengers, “Go back and report to John what you have seen and heard: The blind receive sight, the lame walk, those who have leprosy^[b] are cured, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is preached to the poor.
