robertbunch added a text contribution Peter's BetrayalPeter had a soft heart, after he realized what he had done, he wept bitterly. People who sin and feel no remorse, are on a path to a bad place. the more you sin and don't repent, the harder your heart gets toward God, the less you can hear him, and the more you are in danger of losing what is most important, relationship with God Read more »

robertbunch added a text contribution What it means to do this to the least of these....Every time I have read this, It made sense that we need to do our part as christians, christ followers, the church.... to go to the people who are: Hungry Thirsty Take in Strangers Naked Sick In Prison And we should minister to them. What if that is not all of what Jesus meant? What if these are different spiritual states that all people can be in?

robertbunch added a text contribution Confronting with ExcellenceWhen Confronting people, always use excellence. Always give them the benefit of the doubt. Because if you don't, offense will be waiting to take root. All you can do is do everything you possibly can to confront someone with excellence, and give it to God.
