A Name Worth Having

What is it like to be a people or a city of God? What an amazing spectacular place to be! Augustine wrote a book nearly 1,500 years ago called the City of God in which he points the way forward to a citizenship that transcends the best political experiences of the world and offers citizenship that will last for eternity. It is a classic; still in print in English translation from the Latin. Let us bear God’s name carefully and prayerfully.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, today we come before you thankful to be included in the family of faith. Thank you for adopting us as sons and daughters. We don’t carry the name ‘Christian’ lightly; we do so with care, caution, and confidence. Help us to share the good news of your love and sacrifice and enlarge your ‘family’ even further. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
