We have been adding a lot of things to our Jesus Experiment this summer- that experiment to determine if a "rich and satisfying life" really is out there for those who follow Jesus. There may be times when we are tempted to forget the whole thing completely. We imagine that there are other ways, worldly ways, to grab hold of a “rich and satisfying life.” Those temptations look pretty attractive, but don't be fooled; they will imprison us rather than free us. Too often we give in to our temptations, even when we know better. In spite of it all, God forgives us; Jesus sets captives free. This Sunday, 10 a.m., 1 John 2:12-17.
