Our thoughts,
On our journey to know the truth, we learned many Bible verses that did not say what we thought they said, but they certainly meant what they said they meant. Through deep and sorrowful trials, God has blessed us with wisdom, insight into greater context, and character accuracy.
Shepherds who have lived and learned the attacks of a roaring lion can guide and discern the flock into spiritual growth and security. Prowling pharisees plague and devour churches; most brethren can't distinguish them and, therefore, endorse their hypocrisy. But the humble strive and remain focused on the goal; faithful love is among us.
Live in peace, dear brethren; avoid divisive individuals who practice cunning toxicity, instead receive the pure charity of our Lord, and "humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: Casting all your anxiety upon him; for he careth for you." - Peter.
Your servant,
SM
