Tim's Thoughts on HONOR

Great to be back with my teen peeps again!  I have to be at the top of my game with you guys.

OUT of all the important things that God wants us to do, what does New Life honor and revere above all other things? 
Or...out of all the things we could mess up, what's the one thing that we really can't screw up at?  KINDNESS.  That's what we honor above all else.  Course, ya hafta honor God first before you can start being kind, but let's assume that one.

Jesus purposely made the whole thing weasel-proof, because a lawyer was trying to weasel out of the main command of God.  JESUS purposely made the hero of the story NOT Mr.-Church-Guy (the Priest) or Mr-Scripture guy (the Levite) but the lowly yucky looked-down-upon Samaritan.  He was the hero.  Because he alone was the kind one.

KINDNESS is not being nice to a few people, because EVERYBODY does that.  Even Hitler was kind to his dog.  SO that can't be it.  Kindness is treating everyone like you like them.

And you know what that means don't you?  If kind people are Christlike, mean people are ANTICHRIST.  It's not cute or amusing or tolerable to have mean Christians... They are hurting the Kingdom. 

What are some creative ways you can show kindness in your world?  It's the ABSOLUTE most important thing. - TIM
