Kingdom Family (Meyer) 09.05.2021 25:27 ↓

How we view the family relationship is one of the places that Christianity shines the brightest and yet, also runs most counter to our culture. We live in a “What can I get out of it?” culture. We live in a “How am I going to benefit?” culture. People believe “It’s all for me! It’s all centered in me!

Throughout the book of Acts we see a remarkable unity between people of different races. This was a shock to the current culture who wanted to keep people divided, labeled and living in their own social cast. Christians boasted a new identity where whether you born a slave or free, man or woman, Jew or Gentile, poor or rich, or whatever the world used to divide---were now equal in Christ. This was...
