TALK: Consider some of these ideas
The voice said to him again, a second time, “What God has made clean, you must not call profane.” (Acts 10:15)
The fledgling church of Christ is finding its feet, to be as diverse and inclusive as Jesus himself. But humans sometimes need more time to catch up with God’s radical vision.
- What is considered taboo in your community? What has become mainstream that you wish was still taboo? Why?
- How can you honor God in a new way this week? What can you do or refrain from doing to respect God?
PRAY: God, you have sanctified all things by your grace, and nothing is unclean to you. Open our minds to your vision of inclusion that we might mirror your mercy in the world, for the sake of our loving savior, Jesus Christ. Amen.
BLESS: May God guide you in your
discernment. Amen.
