I will be in Indiana July 28 and August 4.  Please do carry on without me!  I will send out questions for August 4.

Bonus:  I jotted down some of our points when we discussed "How to Walk in the Spirit" and Galatians 6:

1.  Be gentle with touch and tongue - 6:1a
2.  Don't repay in kind - 6:1b
3.  Consider the other person's situation - 6:2
4.  It doesn't matter if you haven't robbed a bank - 6:3-5
5.  Sow spiritually to reap spiritually -  6:7b-8
6. Seize the opportunity to do good to all - 6:10

We must get along to share Christ with others.

Pastor Derek referred to a quote from John Wesley. I found an interesting blog post.

Share your thoughts.   Our culture encourages individualism.  Yet to best serve Christ we need companions and community.

Pastor Derek used the example of a rowing team.  The members of a successful team strengthen themselves and work together.  How might we incorporate the two pronged approach in our witness for Christ?

Read Romans 12: 1-8.  What advice do these verses give for "getting along"?

Can the church become too well adjusted to the culture of the world?  How much adjusting is productive for the cause of Christ?  How can we judge when the church is too well-adjusted?

Feel free to post your comments on this platform.  I'm interested in your discussion.
