Because we were able to get together and discuss Day Five, I'm not going to go into too much detail other than answering the questions just to have this day on the blog. It would just bother me too much not to include it!
Throughout scripture when God says "I am THE LORD" what does that mean to us?
We all agreed it meant "non-negotiable."
The "Royal Law" is to love God with all your heart and your neighbor as yourself. We had great discussion regarding how difficult this can be, particularly if one actually has trouble loving oneself. Or if those neighbors are other Christians behaving badly without remorse.
After reading James 2:12, how are we to act?
Speak and act according to how we will be judged. It's important to be able to listen carefully and speak slowly. If we loved others in this way, how might it change our interactions with those we come in contact with, including those closest to us, like friends, husbands and children.
We also talked about how important reconciliation is and in doing what the Royal Law commands, how loving others allows us to let go of hurts and reach for healing.
Not too much else for me to add, but please feel free to add on or discuss anything I left out!
