LOVE

Christianity has a perception problem ... but it just isn't a perception problem. We seem to have fixated on sins of COMMISSION ... don't do this, don't do that and you're OK. But goodness isn't the absence of badness. You can do nothing wrong and still do nothing right.

But there are also sins of OMISSION - things we could have, should have, would have done for the cause of Christ, but failed to do.

What we're great at omitting is the GREAT COMMANDMENT ... Love God and love others. As followers of Jesus, we are to literally be defined by our love - our compassion - our grace.

The rallying cry of the last reformation was sola fide - 'by faith alone.' The rallying cry of the next reformation will be amo Dei - 'love God.'

And be blessed.
