In a world where kindness, compassion and empathy are in a dwindling supply, I believe it is vital that as followers of the Bible,, we must remember that we are called to a better way. The hatred, bitterness and strife that pervades our world is not of God. I believe that it grieves the Creator to see His creation spiral into this cycle of darkness and destruction. More specifically, I believe that when we carelessly insult and demean others, this also grieves the Creator.
