“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
4.2 322 What are you worth (?)
Matthew 6:24 No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.
4.1 328 Who owes you what (?)
Let’s pray…
Jesus said, "Repent, and believe in the good news! The kingdom of God is in your midst; it is within you."
Let's use that presence; seeking the power and audacity to imagine better versions of ourselves and our communities:
-- To love God with all our Heart, and mind, and soul;
-- To love one another as Jesus loved us; and
-- To love ourselves with no conditions.
Let's nurture and share that presence, seeking the courage to go from here to the margins:
-- To help the hungry, the thirsty, the unhoused, the unwashed, the incarcerated, and the sick because we belong to one another;
-- To join those whose burdens are more than they can bear because, it's the only way that we'll stop throwing people away;
-- To pray for our orphans and widows, living on the margins of society, especially in inhumane conditions, overlooked by institutions and considered of lesser importance.
In the name of the father, son and holy Spirit,
Amen.

3.3 297 1st Principles #3: Chef or cook (?)
James 2:15-17 ESV— If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food, and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and filled,” without giving them the things needed for the body, what good is that? So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.
