Your Faith Journey - Finding God Through Words, Song And Praise

Last week I spoke about us being called as prophets.  Now this week in our second lesson, Paul’s letter to the Ephesians, he talks about coming together. Paul is addressing his letter to Jewish and Gentile Christians. Each of them have their own idea about each other’s conduct. Paul is suggesting, well maybe telling them that they are called to reconcile with each other and create peace. Neither being a prophet nor being called to reconcile are easy things. It takes willing people. Does this sound like the Christian church today? Through issues and politics, we do not all see things in the same way. We do not interpret the bible in the same way. Thus, how can we reconcile and bring peace to our different views on scripture and how it informs our lives as to how to live as God’s people? I believe the first conclusion to come to is we will not agree on all things. As human beings we each process differently, have come from different places, have had different experiences and are at different places in our lives
