). Satan pulls us into one of two paths: "The Path of the Pushover." Satan tempts us to prioritize our mistaken interpretation of "loving our neighbor" over loving God, constantly affirming, and we let mercy rob justice. "The Path of the Punisher." Satan tempts us with a mistaken idea of loving God, constantly condemning, and we let supposed justice rob any mercy. By contrast, Jesus invites us to put away both natural man tendencies and instead follow the "Path of the Peacemaker." We harmonize justice and justice and mercy. We recognize both halves of the Lord's statement: "Neither do I condemn thee" AND "Go and sin no more."

In Istanbul this week, I met with religious leaders from diverse faith traditions. I also visited important religious and historic sites with Islamic scholars Dr. Samy Ayoub and Professor Recep Şentürk. Our Articles of Faith remind us, “We claim the privilege of worshiping Almighty God according to the dictates of our own conscience, and allow all men the same privilege, let them worship how, where, or what they may” (Articles of Faith 1:11). The fatherhood of God makes us brothers and sisters. We are each better when we love, mutually respect, and learn from each other.
