A couple of bits from next Sunday’s Lectionary…
From Isaiah 51:4 … “Listen to me, my people, and give heed to me, my nation; for a teaching will go out from me, and my justice for a light to the peoples.” and from Romans 12:2 … “Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your minds, so that you may discern what is the will of God–what is good and acceptable and perfect.”
We are the people of God, and we dance to the sound of a different drum. It doesn’t mean that we shall always be perfect, or even consistent. Hypocrisy will creep in sometimes. But we are led forward by the justice and the will of God.
