Matthew 5 & Romans 12.
We should need to say no more than these.
The simple and the powerful are met here together. These passages make it completely clear that God desires for His people to live with extraordinary sacrificial love, patience, kindness, goodness, generosity and selflessness toward others.
The best humanity can conceive is to do good to those who need and will receive it.
God’s best and His divine wisdom and call for us is — by His divine grace, power and sacrificial love to transform those who oppose us and reject us and hurt us — through no desire of anything whatsoever for ourselves in return — to love those who hate us, to bless those who curse us, to count insults as compliments, to greet those who do not greet us, to overcome evil with good.
Enough said.
Wisdom in the WORD 
RMFJ was a significant time yesterday.
IC shared an situation update for about 10 minutes at the start and a bit more later too. Then all the brothers joined in after the reading from Luke 13:1-5. The passage raised some thoughts about how human nature often has this suspicious and for some even accusatory underlying way of thinking about others.
This is where the topic of the night kicked in, and we connected some threads from the blog post a few days ago about The Danger of Offenses with the small but potent little phrase couched at the end of 2 Corinthians 6:8 about this paradox.
IMPOSTERS!
The discussion about these passages brought up some amazing insights which prompted this most recent short blog post above.
Enough Said. 😎
