Reflection
We are confident of you in the Lord that what we instruct you,
you are doing and will continue to do.
2 Thessalonians 2:16
“…the gospel is not given to tell us what we already know. Rather, the gospel is given to tell us what we do not know or what we have forgotten, and that is who we are, sons and daughters of the One from whom all things come. It is when we begin to remember who we are, and who all people truly are, that we will begin to remember also what we should be doing and how we should be relating to one another as individuals and as nations and as an entire earth community.”
J. Phillip Newell
