The Bent-Knee TimeSTRAIGHTEN UP!
Getting straight with God will make you straight with your next-door neighbor. The bother is that so much of our religion is of the pendulum kind; it swings this way and that, but, unlike a good clock, doesn’t keep the balance true. God is love. Love is a flame. It reaches quietly, subtly, but effectively, up through the whole life; and outside, too. Nothing within reach can escape its mellowing, shaping influence. It makes us good neighbors.
