It doesn't matter what you look like, what you're wearing, what job you have or what station of life you are in. He's going to treat you like you would want to be treated. is comes from his Christian faith. Aer all, didn't Jesus say, "Love your neighbor as yourself?" From my grandmother and many of the folks at my first church in Newton Grove, I learned the importance of do- ing daily devotionals and the effect that has on you. From my twin brother, I've learned the importance of not just living my faith, but talking about it in every day conversation. And I could name dozens more... But what about you? Who have you learned from, in addition to the stories in the Bible? Who has showed you what Jesus' teaching look like in the world? And who is good at talking about their faith in your circle of friends? ese are important questions to think about, because we don't come to our faith on our own. Instead, we stand on the shoulders of those that have gone before us. But you know what might even be more crucial questions to wrestle with? What faith are we now passing on? What faith are we embodying in our own personal lives? And what faith are we living out as a community? Because people are learning about Christianity from watching us. Your faith, our faith…it's not our own. We didn't just wake up and real- ize it one day. Our faith stands on the shoulders that have gone before us. So who have you learned from? Who has shown you Jesus' love? Who talks about it so graciously in their lives? And how are we passing it on now? As individuals? As a church? And as a community? ese might be some of the most im- portant questions we ever wrestle with, because our faith isn't our own. And others are learning the Christian faith by watching us. CV Rev.
