Missionaries

oct14
The Lord wants us to 'teach all nations'.  In this nation what we have to do first is to learn to respect all nations.  Unfortunately we too often despise in the name of patriotism.

The Lord would have us to stop thinking poorly of immigrants, muslims, african Americans.  We have no call as missionaries until we stop hating people.

In the Bible it's pretty clearly a radical either-or: we love or we hate; those are our only options.

Beloved (Friends) love one another.

I've been trying to be a missionary to the Good People... Does this mean I need to learn to stop thinking poorly of Good People? Jesus himself couldn't do anything with people like that (and what if I am one?!)
