For a long generation we have been engaged in simplifying the Gospel, in saying to the intellectually perplexed, “You need not believe that.” We have pared down the Gospel, shrunk and reduced it until in our churches, preachers have sometimes seemed to be playing a game to see how little a man may believe and still be a Christian.

Harry Emerson Fosdick

Since you have been chosen by God who has given you this new kind of life, and because of his deep love and concern for you, you should practice tenderhearted mercy and kindness to others. Don’t worry about making a good impression on them, but be ready to suffer quietly and patiently. Be gentle and ready to forgive; never hold grudges. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others.

Colossians 3:12-13
The Living Bible

“I’ll not take your money, Pastor,” Old John insisted after the Saturday shoe shining was completed. “You shine my soul on Sunday, and I’ll shine your shoes on Saturday.” “From that time on,” said the minister, “I made a special effort to be helpful in every sermon of mine and in all my other speaking—to shine people’s souls.”
