Why is it that we see so many creatures as being scary? Wolves, snakes, and scorpions all seem to evoke fear in us. Right now there are people whose use of our religion creates the same kind of fear. Unlike the creepy crawlies Jesus uses as poetic devices they are creating real harm. How do we interact with them? How do we resist them as we try to follow Jesus without becoming just like them? Could it be that this passage from Luke 10 provides us some insight into our response to the threat and actual harm of White Chrisitan Nationalism? Is there a pathway forward for those who still wish to make earth like it is in heaven? Join us this week at Missiongathering Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) to find out.
