Com demasiada frequência, como crentes, não nos damos conta de que a coisa mais bondosa que podemos oferecer uns aos outros é a verdade. Nossa tarefa não é apenas nos ajudarmos a nos sentirmos bem, mas nos ajudarmos a sermos bons.

I recently read an interesting book by Philip D. Kenneson: Life on the Vine: Cultivating the Fruit of the Spirit in Christian Community. Here is an excerpt.
