Vrydagfokus - om verwelkomende kerke te word
In Handelinge word ons vertel dat die kerk die guns van al die mense geniet het. Watter reputasie het jou kerk – streng? kliek? onwerklik? veroordelend? Of word dit as warm en verwelkomend vir almal in jou gemeenskap beskou? Is dit 'n plek wat God se goedheid wys? God se genade is wonderlik – dit kan enigiemand bereik. Laat dit ons harte vul.
(Steve Botham, Wêreldgebedsentrum)
- Pray: Lord, fill our Church with mercy. May we be a home for the prodigals; a sanctuary for the lonely, the angry, and the outcast. You loved the tax collectors, prostitutes and Roman officers. You let the children come when the disciples blocked them. Help us see people with your loving eyes. Make us bringers of mercy, goodness and kindness. Amen.
