When Jesus walked the earth, God's word was central to life. It was the everyday conversation of the community. They were brought together by the text, and they even agreed on a text of the week. This same ancient rythmn is available to us today! Join us in reading and commenting on what is know as the "Parashah." Imagine a community whose unity is rooted in the very word of God!
this weeks parashat too me was about not using Jesus to make statements that are opposed to God's heart. We as humans like to use biblical justification to spout out our own opinions that are not an appropriate display of God's heart. I love the Jeremiah portion because God touches his mouth and put his words in Jeremiah...and his words alone are accompanied by mighty ACTION..a DISPLAY of God's own heart.
and taking oaths is scary when you actually fear God. It's about understanding and loving God's heart so much that you watch what you say to others
