"I am high on God!"
This is the statement a customer at my wife's store strongly announced yesterday, positioned in a defensive stance with his arms crossed after she told him she was high on life. God shakes His head in disbelief at the contempt we hold for others who don't quite agree with us. We live a country where there are almost three hundred different denominations, all claiming to have a special understanding of the Christian Gospel. What is more important than any point of faith is that we love one another, and that we treat one another accordingly. Each of us has enough to keep us busy with his own faith. When we start pointing fingers at others, that's when we prove positively that our own faith is in serious need of help.
Have mercy upon us, O Lord, have mercy upon us: for we are exceedingly filled with contempt.
Psalm 123:3
Heaven
