Brothers and Sisters

Brothers and Sisters

 Let us do as Jesus commanded: 
Show the world that we are His disciples by
loving one another, loving our neighbors as ourselves, 
doing unto others as we want
others to do unto us, forgiving those who have sinned against us, 
praying for, doing good
for, and even loving our enemies 
Next, let us unite in tearing down walls of misunderstanding 
By building bridges to others in the Christian family. 
Then, let us join together with adherents of other religions
tearing down walls of fear and suspicion 
By building bridges of love to all members of
the human family until war is no more 
and weapons of war have been recycled into
implements of agriculture 
The whole human family will therefore be able to
blend our voices in the words of the late-great civil-rights leader, 
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., “Free at last, 
Free at last. Thank God almighty, 
we are free at last!” 
CU is not dangerous
doctrine—a license to sin
but the most literally the truth of the Christian Faith!

Rev. Dr, Samuel Mack, OMS, DD
