What does it mean to abide?

What does it mean to abide? What if we found ways in these anxious times, in these times when so many of us are just “hanging on,” to, instead, “hang in” there together? What if we chose, instead of grievance, curiosity and embrace?

I Have Called You Friends

Christ’s friendship carries us to a new country, a new way of living, of being. Jesus proposed moving society to a place where everyone, every class and kind and age, and race and orientation and gender and ability, where everyone was gathered together around a table. Indeed Christ said that this sharing, this friendship, was already how God sees us.
