Hi everyone -- I'm looking forward to seeing you this Tuesday night from 7-9 at the Johnsons'. Having had a bit of introduction last week to Paul, etc., we will continue our reading of the first 3 chapters of Romans. If you dip in ahead of time, you'll find much there that is disturbing and may seem harsh. Paul is contrasting what he calls "the righteousness of God" to the world that he and the early Christians lived in, dominated by imperial Rome and by the attitudes and habits of Roman culture. To get ourselves into his context it might be interesting to think about our own time: what are the things about the world we live in that you just know are "all wrong" . That are not supposed to be this way. Thinking about this may help get us closer to what Paul meant by "the gospel of God" and "the righteousness of God". But you don't have to prepare anything -- as usual, just come. It's always interesting!
Lindsey is cooking, if I remember correctly -- hope to see you all Tuesday!
