LOST!
And no, not the TV show....
Click here to read about the real lost...
It seems from this passage that Jesus is getting in trouble for hanging around with the wrong crowd again. He is having to answer for why He was mingling with the "lost" instead of being with the "found." And His answer is hard...even an affront. He basically says that He would rather spend time with pagans than believers. Not because He doesn't like believers, but because the pagans need Him more. Ouch to all believers.....
I'm preaching on this text in Cornerstone's worship service tomorrow. Pray that we might discover to what God is calling us...

I'm preaching tomorrow on the lectionary passage from Acts...and focusing on a theme similar to yours. The Spirit tears down walls and barriers, moving in ways we don't expect and may not even like...but we need to recognize and respect the Spirit's movement all the same. I'm making reference to Biblical events like the Incarnation and Pentecost, and also to more contemporary things like Baby Boomer praise band worship, Hot Metal Bridge-type "emergent" outreach, and even Violet Fisher (a black, female, charismatic UM bishop). I'm using the fall of the Berlin Wall as a "base analogy."
