This week we start a new study on Wednesday night, "The Jesus Proposal" by Rubel Shelly and John O. York. I will have some books on Sunday and order more when they are available.
The first chapter discusses similar changes in our world and culture that we've been talking about in the Crux. One of the most striking statements to me was the verse above, "For the Kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit." (Romans 14:17) What a powerful statement that Paul is making. What is he trying to say? Should we not worry about eating and drinking? Will we not have to worry about food and drink in Heaven? Or is he saying something else, something that resonated as much 2000 years ago as it is today?
