It's a shame that we so many times remain content to stay in our churches with the same views, the same messages, the same color, the same socio-economic status. Life in the early church (not the Early Church) was a collection of peoples from all over the world who in many ways had only two things in common: they were human and they knew Jesus.
I hope this next Sunday opens our eyes to what G-D is doing in the world; I hope G-D shares a glimpse of His goodness that He gives to ALL humanity. I dream of a day when we will all be ONE in Jesus - a day in which differences (black/white, female/male, rich/poor, free/slave) are appreciated and not condemned, cherished and not diminished. That day arrives as we witness G-D's incredible creation displayed in so many unique ways.
