everything in life starts with listening

[Lesslie Newbigin @LesslieNewbigin]

It is a terrible misunderstanding of the Gospel to think that it offers us salvation while relieving us of responsibility for the life of the world, for the sin and sorrow and pain with which our human life and that of our fellow men and women are so deeply interwoven.

Based on conversations with lots of leaders in different contexts and some informal polls, here is what I am hearing and seeing in terms of church re-gathering (in no particular order)

Thanks ⁦@VisitStellies⁩,Pienel community and the Stellenbosch community for a heartwarming and hope inspiring experience as we visited sites of forced removals& slavery& witnessed shoots of building better together during the #SocialJusticeWalk #June16 #DayoftheAfricanChild

As Christians, in our disagreeing we must never dismiss or de-humanize another or we become ungodly. The trashing, demeaning, humiliating and labeling of others is horrifying and grieves the heart of our God.

Our book launch went very well today, what a blessed day. Thanks to the organizing team Ms. Marita Snyman, Mrs Bridget Leibbrandt, and Dr Marnus Havenga. Many thanks to Prof Dion Forster @digitaldion for the live streaming & these beautiful pictures 👍🏽

There can never be a culture-free gospel. Yet the gospel, which is from the beginning to the end embodied in culturally conditioned forms, calls into question all cultures, including the one in which it was originally embodied.

@ReggieNel Down Sindrom boy what have we become?

Leonard Sweet taught me about sobremesa. The disciples worshiped around a round table and danced and sung in the middle. It is at the end of the meal where the conversation begins. Worship is not over until you had time to talk. @lensweet

Lectionary tweet: Rom 9
That’s leadership! PAUL, who’d rather be accursed than see Israel suffer! MOSES who’d rather God blot out his name than see Israel destroyed! John LEWIS, who’d rather risk life…Great leaders always care much more for others than they do for themselves.

Jesus had the habit of going to lonely/solitary places to pray, he would “spend the night alone at the mountainside”. . . 40 days alone in the desert, the night before the crucifixion in the garden of Gethsemane . . . If Jesus needed time-out for prayer in solitude, we need it.

Whenever we build walls to keep people out, Jesus goes over to their side of the wall and invites us to join him there.
