"I don't know," can be scary, but if we want to take the posture of a learner, it's essential.

This Wednesday Whiteboard session was about how we are a part of a much larger story of God's covenant with family lineage, not just individuals.

We ended by making some declarations and doing some good spiritual work breaking agreements and making agreements with gospel truths.

Joseph of Arimathea laid him in his tomb.

"Be merciful to those who doubt." Jude 1:22

Johnathan Quatela's ministry is to serve those who serve the state of Delaware through governmental leadership.

He likes to say, "Government is God's idea. Politics is what happens when people insert their own agendas into it."

This is a reflection on the nature of faith. It tries to work out some implications of what James says in chapter 2 of his letter when he tells us, "Oh you say you believe in one God? Well guess what? The demons believe, but they tremble."

Real faith isn't about what we claim to agree with, but what we stake our lives on. This truth cuts two ways:

1. If we say we believe, maybe we're wrong.

2. If we say we don't believe, maybe we're wrong.

Jay talked about the process God allows us to take to make mistakes, learn, and find our way, with God involved and orchestrating things in a way we couldn't anticipate. God does this because he knows us, knows what we need, and loves us deeply.

Mark 6:46 “He went up on the mountain to pray.”

Then we talked about the question, "What is holiness?"
