Sin We Can't Control

With the thoughts of last week on sin I have been thinking about what happens with the world around us. We are not in a Jewish Community with Joshua or Moses as our guide to lead the people as to God's leading. With this idea we do still have the church and a community of followers of Christ who are to meet together. How do we protect ourselves from the sins of the non-Christian world and the effects it has on us? If sin affects us within the Christian community when someone is out of fellowship with God then one can assume that all sin affects everyone, Christian or not. So how do we as a community of Christians deal with sin that we as a community can't control? Do you even think that outside sins of the Christian community affect us? I would say yes. But I would love to hear your thoughts.

Missio Dei GR

First off, I would like to say we are proud to announce that the blog is back on line. And with it, we can have another avenue of great dialogue about this, that or the other thing.

So just a quick review what’s going on with Missio Dei right now:

Book Club: come to Missio Dei on Sunday and you can get Searching for God Knows What for $10.00 and then meet a week from this Monday at The B.O.B.

Get a Whitecaps game ticket for $8.50 and don’t forget the beach afternoon on June 24th. (See the finger print for details.)

I was thinking about the idea of being connected to each other whether we like it or not from the topic of last Sunday. The thought of the week here is simply this: in what ways do you deal with sin once it has been recognized? We just learned what it means for a community to deal with sin in Missio Dei last week through the story of Joshua, but if we don’t know how to truly deal with sin then how are we able to get rid of it? So I am asking all of you, how do we deal with sin? How do you deal with sin, and how should we as a community deal with sin together?
