Refining Friendship

"Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you"  Matthew 5:44

Friendship is a precious gift.  I have been very blessed to have made very good friends in the varous stages of my life.  When we get together it feels like time has stood still.  It's a wonderful thing.  This chapter (from A World Worth Saving) calls us to reach out and expand our friendships by extending hospitality and extending support.

I think we are called to interact in a positive way with whoever we meet.  Not to be afraid of differences but to broaden our own horizons by being exposed to new ideas and people different from ourselves.  God loves us all and he gave hs Son, Jesus, to save us all. He commanded us to love our neighbor.  Pray for all people in our world.

St. Mark Presbyterian Adult Education Committee has sponsored an All Church Book Read with A World Worth Saving by George Hovaness Donigian.  Thank you to B. Larez for sharing her thoughts.  

Come to Fellowship Hall 6:15 to continue in the discussion of Chapter 6.
