                      Hebrews 3: 1-11

                      …if.  While love is unconditional, to live into church as a verb has the conditional “if”.  “If we hold firm the confidence and pride that belong to hope.  Hope is something outside of ourselves.  As is church.  My favorite theologian, Dietrich Bonhoeffer–one who lived understanding that church is not an institution to protect–stated “The church is only the church when it exists for others.”  So therefore, we are God’s house when the conditional ‘if’ holds the condition on welcoming the other.  Hope!
