Ezekiel 22.6-12 as paraphrased in The Message.
The laundry list of sin and depravity is long and depressingly familiar because it tracks so closely our own time and culture. The challenge as the church of God is to not be drawn into the world's way of thinking on these things. Nor to assume that our thinking on an issue—how we treat illegal immigrants is one—is, because it is our thinking, therefore biblical. We may, and often do, allow our own cultural prejudice to creep into our worldview.
Prayer: O Lord God may the Holy Spirit continue to challenge our thinking and opinions on issues so that we do not complacently assume that we are correct in all things.
