1. Faith is meant for spiritual things.
Faith is misused and abused.
Using faith on earth w/o rigorous testing is damaging that what God gave you to connect you to Him.

3. Are you tossed around by the wind and waves?
Ephesians 4:14
"Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of people in their deceitful scheming."

Recorded a fascinating interview this morning w/ @ginadalfonzo on her new book #DorothyandJack: The Transforming Friendship of Dorothy L. Sayers & C. S. Lewis.
So many angles, but one we tracked down was how Sayers & Lewis's friendship was a meeting of the minds rather than of the hearts. It got me thinking about how we discuss love, friendship, marriage, & whether men & women can be friends.
Obviously lots going on in that convo, too, but one of the problems w/ how we frame both marriage & friendship, imo, is centering it as something that is primarily rooted in the emotional life.
To my beloved brothers and sisters...
There's a certain kind of grief that invokes silence. For several days I've watched our interactions, much like a child who is present as his parents argue.. the pain is deep. I pray it doesn't become calloused.

Yet, I feel I must speak. Not to give voice to the clamor, but as an appeal to reasonableness. In light of our witness to a watching world, and an ever present God, I ask you, my friends, to forebear...
Of course, I know patience and temperance is unlikely during these times. Yet, it is required of us. We don't represent ourselves anymore. Our opinions are to be filtered. Truth, if spoken at all, must be done so in love, compassion, empathy.
