The Difficult Way of Salvation
27 “But I say to you that listen, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, 28 bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you. 29 If anyone strikes you on the cheek, offer the other also; and from anyone who takes away your coat do not withhold even your shirt. 30 Give to everyone who begs from you; and if anyone takes away your goods, do not ask for them again. 31 Do to others as you would have them do to you.
God the Dreamer

Catching People
“Do not be afraid; from now on you will be catching people.” What invitation do I hear in these words? Who is struggling and on my heart? Who needs a net that I can help “put down”? What help do I need right now? What is this text saying to me about faith? Participation? Abundance? Connections? Jesus? The human struggle? Collaboration?
