The only way to practice the difficult discipline of holding one’s tongue is to be in constant communion with the Spirit. I have read a few christian blogs with the comment section reading similar to what you quoted and it made me feel nauseous. It is shameful to us as followers of Jesus, we should speak to each other in love. The world should be able to witness the love, peace, and power of Jesus when they look at how we treat each other. Words are very powerful indeed, and should not be underestimated. We should be more concerned with how they will build others up and less concerned with being right or clever. Great post, as always, Bryan.

Bryan,
I often read blogs and become frustrated at the direction the comments follow. Then, your name appears in the comment stream and I read a comment based on grace and the realization that we all so desperately need it. Thank you for being a calm voice that clearly points to our mutual failings and to the One who has never and will never fail.
