Who are the elect?

We don’t often fight over truth.  We fight over miscontruth. 

Miscontruth happens when words are misconstrued. 

Construe: to analyze the arrangement and connection of words; to construct (to build):

Mis- : badly

Miscontruth: a bad analysis of, or a badly analyzed- arrangement and connection of words

Anything we build on a foundation other than the gospel of Jesus Christ…

Indifference

I can't help but be perplexed at the amount of indifference we tolerate within the body of Christ.

People think that the opposite of love is hate.  But they are wrong.  Love and hate both act on themselves. 

If I love then I must...
     be patient
     be kind
     throw out the (keep no) record of wrongs...

If I hate then I must...

Becoming familiar...

I received a word from a brother in Christ that the Lord is looking for a people who will become "familiar with the unfamiliar."  It came during a divine appointment that brought our two families together in prayer... a time when the Spirit answered very clearly the request, "Come Holy Spirit."

So what does it mean?  Before we jump to the "obvious", as I initially did... I want us to look at the following:

Familiar - "well known; on a family footing, comfortable"
Unfamiliar - "not well known, outside the family, uncomfortable"

If there is a family that is more diverse, more unlikely, more dysfunctional, and more apt to fight than the Family of God - the Church... I have not seen it.
