Monday, May 15: “Appreciate the Differences I”

Some people are more fluent than others. Take St. Luke, for instance, who, in two books, wrote more words than any other New Testament writer. The intro to his Gospel is four verses and about seventy-five words. That’s just the intro. Then there’s St. James, whose intro to his epistle is a lot like the epistle itself; like the man himself–direct, straight to the point. Two verses, twenty words. The point? We all have the same job: share the Gospel. But we don’t all do it the same way; not everyone does it just like you. It doesn’t make them wrong, it makes them different.
