Favorite movies, favorite foods, best cities to visit, favorite National Parks, and on and on. These lists can be the source of debate and good conversation. The list of Christian virtues (like love, joy, kindness, forgiveness)&nbsp;is no different and it can sometimes get long. But that list might not exist if it wasn&#8217;t for the virtue of HUMILITY. This week we will look at a story and part of a letter that emphasize the need for humility as our starting point.<\/p>    <p style=\"margin: 10px 0;padding: 0;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;color: #202020;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 16px;line-height: 150%;text-align: left;\">AND \u2013 We will be serving Communion this coming Sunday.<\/p>    <h2 style=\"display: block;margin: 0;padding: 0;color: #202020;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 22px;font-style: normal;font-weight: bold;line-height: 125%;letter-spacing: normal;text-align: left;\">Preview\u2026Jason\u2019s Jots (read more below)<\/h2>    <p style=\"margin: 10px 0;padding: 0;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;color: #202020;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 16px;line-height: 150%;text-align: left;\">People can very normally and very understandably perpetuate the painful patterns of those who came before them.

And in some cases there is some truth to it. Hurt people often hurt people. When all we&#8217;ve seen is people arguing, it&#8217;s hard not to think that this is just how people communicate.&nbsp;<br>  <br>  But that phrase, &#8220;the sins of the father being passed down&#8221; &#8211; that actually comes from the Bible. Deuteronomy 5:9. &#8220;For I the&nbsp;Lord&nbsp;your God am a jealous God, punishing children for the iniquity of parents to the third and fourth generation of those who reject me.&#8221; So people who use that phrase when talking about someone believe they are just communicating God&#8217;s honest truth.&nbsp;<br>  <br>  But what that person has missed is an important absence of punctuation. There isn&#8217;t a period at the end of that phrase. God isn&#8217;t done speaking to Moses (and the people of Israel). The phrase concludes with verse 10. &#8220;but&nbsp;showing steadfast love to the thousandth generation<span style=\"font-size:10.8333px\"> <\/span>of those who love me and keep my commandments.&#8221;&nbsp;<br>  <br>  Here&#8217;s the point. People can very normally and very understandably perpetuate the painful patterns of those who came before them. AND people can put an end to those patterns by returning to the good of following God&#8217;s path towards love and grace and joy. And when someone starts down the road of love, the verses in Deuteronomy seem to imply that goodness and kindness and love are much more powerful than division and greed and other forms of disruptive patterns (1,000 generations compared to 3 or 4 generations).&nbsp;<br>  <br>  On Sunday, we talked about the CROSS being the ultimate point at which the cycle of violence and scapegoating stops. The perfect one, God incarnate, Jesus the Christ, innocent one &#8211; was being scapegoated and violently killed as a threat to all the power brokers and systems of power. And as justifiable as his vengeance would have been, he stayed on the cross and forgave those who put him there. He said, this cruelty stops with me.<br>  <br>  We are the offspring of that love and forgiveness to the thousandth generation. We are made in the image of the forgiving, humble, merciful God, who is LOVE.&nbsp;<br>  <br>  Where in our lives can we say, this stops with me? And when we say and live in such a way that doesn&#8217;t perpetuate the painful patterns of our past and we take violence and scapegoating out of circulation &#8211; we might just change the trajectory of our family, our school, our company, our community, our church for generations upon generations.&nbsp;<br>  &nbsp;<\/p>    <h1 style=\"text-align: center;display: block;margin:

View this email in your browser Tuesday News: August 9, 2022 &nbsp; Sunday\u2019s Preview: August 14 People love to make lists of things. Favorite movies, favorite foods, best cities to visit, favorite National Parks, and on and on. These lists can be the source of debate and good conversation. The list of Christian virtues (like love, joy, kindness, forgiveness)&nbsp;is no different and it can sometimes get long. But that list might not exist if it wasn&#8217;t for the virtue of HUMILITY. This week we will look at a story and part of a letter that emphasize the need for humility as our starting point. AND \u2013 We will be serving Communion this coming Sunday.
