As we get closer to the annual meeting in Orlando, resist the temptation to lash out at your brothers in Christ on this app. I’m committing myself to every time I wanna say something snarky, I’m gonna pray for the person that I was thinking about being snarky to. They are an image bearer and a brother. I’m gonna treat them like that.
