Matthew 18:15-35
Matthew Rehnborg
(Bumper music: God Be In My Head by Ryan Gustafson of the Dead Tongues featured on Hymns from the Gathering Church (2011))
“God approaches our minds by receding from them. We can never fully know God if we think of God as an object of capture, to be fenced in by the enclosure of our own ideas. We know God better after our minds have let God go. The Lord travels in all directions at once. The Lord arrives from all directions at once. Wherever we are, we find that God has just departed. Wherever we go, we discover that God has just arrived before us.” -Thomas Merton
