Some points to think about this week:
1) We always want the answer(s) to the "Big Why". We don't need answers. We need God, and He alone is ALL we need when we are hurting, suffering, etc. In his suffering Job asked "Why", but God never gave him an answer. Instead, God gave him all he ever needed: His presence.
2) Sin will take you farther than you want to go, keep you longer than you want to stay, and cost you more than you want to pay.
3) Hurting people are hurtful people. Love them anyway. It may confuse them at first, then it draws them next. When you respond right when others treat you wrong, their first response would be to treat you worse (like a test). Keep at it, and you'll see the walls start crumbling down. Respond as Jesus would.
4) Churches are not museums for saints, they are hospitals for sinners.
5) When we judge, we reveal our own heart. What we see is what we are. It's the law of recognition.
