Today's Devotion: Romans 12:19 (New International Version) - Do not take revenge, my friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written: "It is mine to avenge; I will repay,"[a]says the Lord.

We must treat others with love. Jesus said, "Love your neighbor as yourself."

Today's Comments: I have been working on my term paper for Dr. Greg Peters' Anglican Studies Class (he is mentoring me through independent study). I am putting together a series of Philosophies of the Founders quotes into a PowerPoint so that others might view samples of what Anglicanism is all about. It is not is a single, well thought out, precisely organized theological system. Anglicanism has evolved through the philosophies of its founders. By reading and studying their words, writings, and wisdom, we begin to realize the diversity of its founders, the richness of its heritage, and the inclusiveness of its theology.

Dorothy Sayers (1893-1957), whose apologetics are peppered with humor, appropriately comments on today's Devotion: "When we demand justice, it is always justice on our behalf against other people. Nobody, I imagine, would ever ask for justice to be done upon him for every thing he ever did wrong. We do not want justice--- we want revenge: and that is why, when justice is done upon us, we cry out that God is vindictive."
