"In necessariis unitas, in dubiis libertas, in omnibus autem caritas."

or, in things necessary unity, in doubtful things liberty and in all things love. i really like this quote, it was on my friend josh's blog and it really reflects how i've been feeling about some things i've seen going on lately.

i especially like the last part: in all things love. not gushy mushy love but real love that accepts people where they are and challenges them to grow without crushing or stunting. it makes me heartsick to see so many people i love and care about get ugly over things they disagree on. yes, it's necessary to disagree and to discuss, but the manner in which we do so as christians should be markedly different than that of the world's.

well, there's my recent two cents worth.
