Another Joe Sermon, No Charge

“Turn the other cheek” – I hear you; but I do not think the Bible passage intended for us to become Like Regan, in the Exorcist – Turn as far as you can...and as often as anatomy permits – and if common direction has not been found...then, Fight! God allowed for day and night, up and down, clouds and Sunshine, wrong and right, different sizes and colors – Christ turned the other cheek, but at times He pushed back with vehement passion, as in the temple, when appalled by the Carpetbaggers' buying and selling – Only Love should remain constant and incorruptible.... And it is wrong to love evil.... Sometimes splashing evil with Light is enough (my preferred way)... and sometimes one must simply turn out their lights....

Hi Joe; I know what you mean. I really do try to do what is considered right, but fall far short of expectations. Turning the other cheek is a difficult one to navigate. Well, I think we are not alone. Blessings my friend.
