Romans 11:25-36
Dear RTB’ers,
Lest you be wise in your own sight… (v. 25a) These few words spoke to me immediately – don’t be wise in your own eyes! Paul’s words are timeless. In this epistle his audience is Gentiles in Rome, but we hear him loud and clear today and forever. Right now Carol and I are foreigners in a strange land, and our really special blue passports define our U.S. citizenship, but we need to be careful not to be that “ugly American” that we occasionally hear about (and some of whom we’ve met!). By grace we were born in the USA, nothing we did to earn that citizenship! I also wrote a few years back about us not making too much of ourselves as being Anglican and being arrogant toward those in other denominations who do not align themselves with what we follow as traditional, historical Christian beliefs. Do not be arrogant…! God is God, I am not!
Blessings!
