We often times read the Bible and affirm what it has to say. It's full of powerful sayings. But what do these passages mean in the context of our globalized 21st Century world?
You might mind some of the pictures offensive - I find some of the pictures offensive. I'm doing this so that we can ask ourselves, Why am I offended by this? Do we hold onto these things so tightly we don't allow the scripture to challenge it?

1 Peter 2:17
Show proper respect to everyone: Love the brotherhood of believers, fear God, honor the king.
ZING! This sinks in Steve. It is way too easy and too comfortable to move from criticizing policies and simply raising objections or concerns, and attacking the integrity of the person themself. *sigh* If we are to love our enemies, there is no one to whom we are not to love...sometimes love hurts, but it is unloving to just demonize Obama because of his politics. Thanks you for your voice Steve.
