Probably because we (including myself …

Should we call out other Christians on things? Is so, what things? If we are "all sinners" whose to say you can call ANYONE on ANYTHING? Calling other Christians on their errors is hard.

Ep 83: True Compassion 23:12

We hear the word spoken in church and by many and NGO or non-profit... "compassion". But what is TRUE compassion? It was demonstrated first by God and His son, Jesus. It isn't what many people think.

We've all been there... someone in church drives you crazy. Or people just don't "get" you in your small group.

The word holy can be overwhelming. We know that only God is holy BUT we are called to walk in Christ's footsteps.

But... where is the place God has called us as fol…
