Act accordingly...

My brothers,

I have been very fortunate and blessed to have a few very good friends that I converse with regulary. Some of the subjects we discuss are very intricate. There are social and political views, spiritual and church related talks or debates.
With a wide variety of topics, and unique creations as we all are considered, them more than me in my opinion, we find that we tend to have times where we feel differently on certain issues.
The beauty is, we all have a sizable amount of respect for each other. There have been some heated discussions but, at the end of the day, we don't let it spoil our regard for each other. We remain "linked" as brothers in Christ, never squandering a friendship or relationship for trivial disbutes...

"You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.
Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to his neighbor, for we are all members of one body. In your anger do not sin. Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, and do not give the devil a foothold. He who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work, doing something useful with his own hands, that he may have something to share with those in need.
Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ, God forgave you."
Ephesians 4:22-32 niv

I would like to include you all in the group I mentioned above. If I have done anything that does not coincide with the scripture above to any of you I ask the forgiveness of the Father in heaven and of you now... I ask it as I also extend it.

"Wild-Men" : A safe place where men can be men as they grow in their
relationship with Jesus Christ.
Bless you all!

Michael.........
