Amos 5:6-7, 10-15; Mark 10:17-31
“It takes work to be a church and a city and a country where people really can lay down their burdens and be who God calls them to be, and not be victimized, not be run over by systems or powerful people who use others for their own gain. It takes work to be a people who actually trust that God really is in this place, to really trust that everyone is a child of God, and not treat others as obstacles or tools for our own agendas.”
