Thoughts..with no particular order
Where little is forgiven. Little love is shown. "God's gift for us regardless of the days of darkness we experience is to savor and enjoy his gift of life." Unity is not simply found through diversity but the reason for diversity is that we may only reach unity through God. There are positive sides to diversity but without God, it can easily become a dividing factor. Christianity must deal with knowing a person, not a doctrine. True worship is the giving up of the last percentage of ourselves and what we cling to. Our pride. Our money. Our dignity. Our self-satisfaction. Being close to affluence rarely helps us see the need in the world; rather, it tempts us to be comfortable.
