“Our Christian subculture is marked by church hopping. We stay put as long as it suits us, until we are offended or decide we’re not being “fed.” So, wanting to quietly validate our own identities, we tend to silo ourselves into churches where everyone looks like us, talks like us, likes the same movies, and won’t embarrass us in public. But what if we took a cue from popular culture’s push for diversity and realized that surrounding ourselves with our duplicates only makes us more self-centered?”

“faithful love of the LORD never ends!*        His mercies never cease.    23Great is his faithfulness;        his mercies begin afresh each morning.”

“6Seek the LORD while you can find him.        Call on him now while he is near.     7Let the wicked change their ways        and banish the very thought of doing wrong.    Let them turn to the LORD that he may have mercy on them.        Yes, turn to our God, for he will forgive generously.”
