Here is a link to it, if you want to read some or all of it.  I like what Coffin has to say.  http://twinkie.homedns.org/twinkie/growth/enemy-tbl.html

Coffin says, "War is the enemy."  And I believe that to be true.  And I think war has always been of the devil, not of God.  But maybe it was needed in Old Testament times to get God's point across to His people and other peoples of the earth of that day.  I dunno.

And I think hatred is of the devil, not of the Lord.  No exceptions.  And using the Bible to promote hateful agendas is of the devil, not of the Lord.

And I think that, really, thoughtlessness isn't of God either ... and I think that lazy thinking isn't of God.  I feel that people who say they are Christian on the one hand, or profess a belief in Christ, but then turn around and do things not of Christ's teaching are guilty of thoughtlessness in their walk with God or of lazy thinking in their walk with God.  I mean, God may see that and forgive people for lazy thinking, but that doesn't mean it is the right way to Be.

And I guess that is kinda what I feel when I think of (my girlfriend's) parents:  They are being thoughtless or lazy with their relationship with God.  And I can discern them; but who am I to judge them?  Only God can really judge them in the end.  So I think God commands me to love them, regardless of their human faults....

But loving them doesn't mean I have to suffer their presence I suppose, or that I have to keep company with them, especially when I am mad at them; and I am mad at them.

I don't know ... I mean, Jesus ended up deciding to teach what He taught, and do things in the presence of the Saducees and Pharisees, and compared to Jesus' intelligence, those people were pretty stupid, but He suffered their presence anyway.  And ended up being crucified because of those people or people like that who lead the crowd into denouncing Jesus.  And God let that happen too -- He and Jesus let His son (Him) be crucified on the cross, because of stupid people thinking stupid things.  *sigh*

I guess it just seems to me that the time has come for people to Wake Up, and be aware of their own thoughts and how their own thoughts can lead them astray if their thoughts are not paved with Love.  Greed for money or things is not Love.  Thinking thoughtlessly I don't think is thinking with Love.  I think God asks more of His people ... to think with love at all times in all circumstances.  And I think that doing so is freeing, liberating.

But I guess there will always be people who don't care about that.
