our team is less than 24 hours from departing pittsburgh for managua, nicaragua. in our service this morning, Pastor Jay dove into the greek meaning of the word favoritism in James 2... and he explained that what God does is he lifts up the heads of all people and looks into their eyes - that type of mercy and compassion, is the opposite of favoritism - which is when we do not gaze into their eyes, on their level - rather, we turn our eyes and walk the other way.
my prayer today is that our team will learn what it means to humble ourselves, lift up the heads of those we meet, and look at them the way that Christ looks at them - through eyes of mercy and compassion.
i cannot wait to lead this incredible team - perhaps you can pray for them by name:
