Meridian Church of God

“We’ve built our stained-glass castles. Reaching to the sky. At our best to show Your glory. At our worst to show our pride. We’ve raised our hands in worship, and our fist to stake our claim. We’ve done so much good and so much harm, all in Your great name. But when I think about what has the power to change the world. It could all be said with just one word. Kindness. What if we lived with a heart of kindness. What if we loved like we've been loved. If that's all that we're remembered for. Well, let that be enough.” –Steven Curtis Chapman, Kindness

“I can forgive because I've been forgiven. And I can show mercy. Because its mercy I've received. It’s the kindness of my Father. That brought me back to life. And it's his kindness that still brings me to my knees.”

–Steven Curtis Chapman, Kindness

“Let our hearts be quick to listen. And our lips be slow to speak. Let us wrap ourselves in mercy, compassion, and humility. We’re reaching past the lines. That words like us and them have drawn. Knowing we'll find common ground together at the cross.”

–Steven Curtis Chapman, Kindness

Our Father in heaven, holy is Your Name. Your Kingdom come, Your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread
And forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors
And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever, Amen.
