“Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples, “The scribes and the Pharisees sit on Moses’ seat, so do and observe whatever they tell you, but not the works they do. For they preach, but do not practice. They tie up heavy burdens, hard to bear, and lay them on people’s shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to move them with their finger.”‭‭Matthew‬ ‭23:1-4‬ ‭ESV‬‬

All,
This sticks out because Jesus says,”for they preach, but do not practice”. Paul says we are to “speak the truth in love”, but he also says the “greatest of these is love”. People don’t care how much we know till they know how much we care. I know I can be like the Pharisees and see the wrong in people, but Jesus reminds us that everyone is His child and He wants a relationship with them. Please pray that we and our friends walk with others that need us. Please pray for the families of the victims in Charleston, SC.
