Put aside our petty little tribal feuds

Blogs4God has been involved in more than a couple of controversies, as have many other blogs. In fact, the one reason I sometimes feel like giving up blogging is because of the petty fights that break out sometimes. That’s why I was glad to read this, written by Dean Peters:

All this reminds me of some of the bickering and blood feuds Iíve observed these past year and a half running blogs4God. From issues of abortion, the war in Iraq, to whether or not Catholics are Christians, Iíve got a nice stack of ìlove notesî and snarky blog posts that basically prove one thing, Satan need not afflict us, he need only stand aside and watch us snipe at one another as we outdo each other with wanting to be right, wanting to get in the last word, wanting everyone to think like us Ö Yeah, I know Iím abing a bit tough, but itís Sunday, itís sermon time, donít worry, Iíve got three fingers pointing back at me while Iím pointing one at you. Seriously, can we put aside our petty little tribal feuds and work together? Put another way, vision what might happen when we cast aside our own petty crosses and losses, and bear His.

Well said, Dean. I hope we can actually pull this off.
