The Hindu Grandmother

Who then can be saved? That was the disciples' question when Jesus let them know that the "in-crowd" wasn't safe. Is there an in-crowd? This video, by Dave Schmelzer, a Vineyard pastor in Boston rattles some of the same cages. Are we trying to be more exclusive than God. I hope so. I believe He is far more inclusive than we can ask or dream of. After all Jesus says He is the one who judges the hearts of men and women, not just their actions. Some of us in the in-crowd may be like the boy who was given an award, a badge for humility but then they had to take it away because he wore it. We can let our pride, our egos get in the way of God and isn't that the very message He gave us. Set that stuff aside and love others. What do you think?

If you don't know what Dave is talking about with the bounded and centered set concepts see my earlier blog on January 27th.
