Isaiah 51:1-6Romans 12: 1-8Matthew 16:13-20Philippians 2:4-7“Idols are gods we can manage according to our own interests.”~ Brian Zahnd “The church has too often been an institution serving to crystalize and conserve the patterns of the crowd. The mere fact that slavery, segregation, war, and economic exploitation have been sanctioned by the church is a fit testimony to the fact that the church has too often conformed to the authority of the world rather than conforming to the authority of God.”~ Martin Luther King Jr 1. Look Harder - Conduct a "searching a fearless moral inventory."- “How am I fanning the flame of the image of God in myself? Inothers? In the people I disagree with or don’t likea?” - What are the three interests that are dominating the way I’m using my time? - Is this to benefit primarily myself, or primarily others? 2. Practice repentance and confession - T'shuvah - Return to the path3. Cultivate solidarity - “Solidarity is the union of kindred persons ‘arising from common responsibilities and interests, as between classes, peoples, or groups; community of interests, feelings, purposes, or action; social cohesion.’ Solidarity moves away from the false notion of disinterest, of doing for others in an altruistic fashion. Instead it is grounded in ‘common responsibilities and interests,’ which necessarily arouse shared feelings and lead to joint action.” - Ada Maria Isasi-Dias4. Keep Going, in Love
