1 Peter 3:3-4 Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes. Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight.+Accessorizing the human spirit proves futile, no matter how lucrative it may be for the multinational beauty and fashion industries. We can’t hide behind makeup, expensive jewelry, or fabulous hair extensions.Dressing up for

Romans 12:3 Living then, as every one of you does, in pure grace, it’s important that you not misinterpret yourselves as people who are bringing this goodness to God. No, God brings it all to you. The only accurate way to understand ourselves is by what God is and by what God does for us, not by what we are and what we do for God.+Right and wrong switch places now. God remains the power greater than all others. God’s grace will always be given.Right-size your relationship to God’s grace.*Allison May

Psalm 73:17-20Then I went into your sanctuary, O God, and I finally understood the destiny of the wicked.Truly, you put them on a slippery path and send them sliding over the cliff to destruction.In an instant they are destroyed,completely swept away by terrors.When you arise, O Lord, you will laugh at their silly ideas as a person laughs at dreams in the morning.+Wicked people are the “others” we hate. Yet we too act wickedly, and can be hated.Shift a dismal destiny by loving all others.*Maria

Luke 6:1-2 One Sabbath Jesus was going through the grainfields, and his disciples began to pick some heads of grain, rub them in their hands and eat the kernels. Some of the Pharisees asked, “Why are you doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath?”+Consider the field you walk through with others. Who’s with you?

Psalm 24:1-2The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it,the world, and all who live in it;for the Lord founded it on the seasand established it on the waters.+We speak of the earth as a hard place, literally, shaped from molten and exploded rock. Yet many origin stories in folklore and scripture describe our world as having formed from liquid chaos (kinda matches the state of our world now, too). Whether hard or liquid, we have never owned this world.Let’s honor our collective heritage with

Proverbs 19:7The poor are shunned by all their relatives—how much more do their friends avoid them!Though the poor pursue them with pleading,they are nowhere to be found.+Poverty appears as a predicament we consider from a distance, like an unavoidable natural disaster or genocide abroad. Until it strikes us directly, precarity remains a news item. Yet engaging with people creates opportunities. Together we can shift the world into a more welcoming, safer place.Be the one who responds in Love,

Job 28:20-24, 28Where then does wisdom come from?Where does understanding dwell?It is hidden from the eyes of every living thing,concealed even from the birds in the sky.Destruction and Death say,“Only a rumor of it has reached our ears.”God understands the way to itand God alone knows where it dwells,for God views the ends of the earthand sees everything under the heavens.+If we have wisdom, we respect the Almighty.

Mark 6:48 Shortly before dawn he went out to them, walking on the lake.+No one but Jesus has walked on water. Walk on hot coals, tightropes, caminos--yes, we can do those.

He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that?”+Loving enemies and persecutors feels difficult. Practice, Jesus encourages. “Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.” “Perfect” means

1 Peter 3:19-22 You know, even though God waited patiently all the days that Noah built his ship, only a few were saved then, eight to be exact—saved from the water by the water. The waters of baptism do that for you, not by washing away dirt from your skin but by presenting you through Jesus’ resurrection before God with a clear conscience.+Whether in a shower or a thunderstorm, every encounter with the divine medium of water can clarify your conscience anew.Allow God’s Spirit to flow through

Galatians 5:13 It is absolutely clear that God has called you to a free life. Just make sure that you don’t use this freedom as an excuse to do whatever you want to do and destroy your freedom. Rather, use your freedom to serve one another in love; that’s how freedom grows. For everything we know about God’s Word is summed up in a single sentence: Love others as you love yourself. That’s an act of true freedom.+Flourishing communities--and individuals--work together for the common good.Is freedom
