There's one place in the New Testament where we see a really scary warning (1 Corinthians 11:27). Suprisingly the warning centers on how we approach God through the Lord's Supper. What does it mean to take communion in an "unworthy manner"? How does the Lord's Supper connect to radical mercy?
At All Souls we believe that God loves cities and he calls his people to live sacrificially for them. The problem is that many of his feel broken and burned out - like we have nothing left to give - we feel much like the Jewish exiles that Jeremiah is writing to. Where do we find hope for the city in the midst of our exile?
How does mercy connect to worship? Our long-time friend, Jeff, shares how mercy is the mark of true Christianity. Jeff and his family are artists living in North Africa.
What does "radical mercy" look like? It's a lot more ordinary than you might at first think.
Here at All Souls, we talk a lot about mercy. Heck, that's why we have been working to get a non-profit, Imagine Missoula, up and running to meet mercy needs. But how does mercy connect to our spirituality? We contend that it is a vital component of a truly gospel-centered spirituality.
