  for evil, not to to be the one who lays traps for others, and
• 4:06
  to look always for reasons to criticise, otherwise that

  them and lift them up. And in doing so, bring about a
• 4:43
  glimpse of your Kingdom, where your grace flows and people are

  invitation. We can be a part of your

  Kingdom. So use us, send us, shape us.
