It's not what you say...

BIBLE MEDITATION:
But love your enemies and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great. Luke 6:35
DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:
I’ve seen bumper stickers exhorting us to “show random acts of kindness.” That’s a good thing. What is kindness? It’s love in the little things.
A woman came down the aisle of a church to give her heart to Christ. The pastor wanted to know what had impacted her life for Christ.
She said, “You did.”
“Well, I’d be interested to know what I said that brought you to Christ.”
“It was nothing you said. It was something you did. I was standing nearby when someone criticized you very unfairly. I saw the kindness with which you responded. That’s when I knew your faith was real.”
ACTION POINT:
What random act of kindness can you do today that will demonstrate your faith is real?

Real Truth Never Changes
Real truth never changes, and the truth about government is that it is God who ordains it, leaders who are responsible for it, and citizens who are accountable to it. The privilege of being called Americans comes with significant responsibilities—to God, to each other, and to the world.
