A Fine Balance

"The same Jesus who urged marital faithfulness also urged generous giving to the poor. The same Bible which teaches obedience and respect for authority also teaches radical opposition to the selfish materialism of the world. We are to value our family relationships and at the same time welcome the stranger and the exile. We are to work hard for our living and yet enjoy rest. Wrongdoers are to be justly punished by the state, while we are to personally forgive those who wrong us." - David Reay

John 15:5 New King James Version (NKJV) 5  “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.
