Matthew 18:12-13
What do you think? If a man has a hundred sheep, and one of them has gone astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine on the mountains and go in search of the one that went astray? And if he finds it, truly, I say to you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine that never went astray.

Be appreciative of those who stick around you. I’m not saying the one that goes astray isn’t worth going after, but to understand what grounds you is important. I’ve heard this from another Q, but I feel that it is fitting. I am not original, I am a by-product of the people I surround myself with.

When you leave today, let someone who grounds you know they are appreciated.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Subset of divisiveness (which I talked about at the Asylum on Saturday) is cancel culture.

Cancel culture is contrary to Christian beliefs and the lessons that the Bible teaches.

It is also against the old adage that we teach our kids – your mistakes do not define you, and this one from church – love the sinner, not the sin.

The Bible is full of examples of how a person is not defined by his worst traits, deeds, or words, but here is one.  Saul was not a good man – he persecuted Christians among other things.  Jesus blinds him, converts him, and turns Saul into Paul, who was a great man.  Paul did a lot of good work, is a pillar of Christianity, and is traditionally attributed with writing 13 of the 27 books of the New Testament.

Where would Christianity be without Paul?

In today’s cancel climate, Paul would be canceled because of Saul and with him a lot of the New Testament.  Let that sink in.

“Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.”  Ephesians 4:32

My favorite band is Oasis, who had a song titled “Don’t Look Back in Anger.”  That’s good advice from a band that was drunk and high for most of the 90s.  No need to cancel good music because of bad behavior.  Otherwise, we would not have any good music.

I recently asked my 5yo “What’s your favorite Bible story we’ve read recently?”

”Day one.”

”What’d you like about that?”

”Well, it was dark and then God said let there be light and there was & that’s pretty amazing.”

This was a good reminder to me that amazing encounters and experiences are all around, I just don’t always pay attention.
