Can We Answer With Love?

Happy Valentine's Day!

Is that
LOVE
in the air?

Or contempt?

Last week,
the featured speaker
at the National Prayer Breakfast
was Arthur Brooks,
a prominent conservative thinker
and author of
Love Your Enemies:
How Decent People Can
Save America from a Culture of Contempt.

He challenged the audience 
to become
"missionaries for
love
in the face of
contempt".

You can read his
prepared remarks for the speech
in the Washington Post .

These days,
we don't have to search far
to find contempt.

It's on display
in every
news channel
and
coffee shop
and
comment section
in America.

The question is,
when we find it,
how will we
​answer it?

Can we answer with patience?

Can we answer with kindness?

Can we answer with LOVE?

Let's do our best.
