1. Among the quotes Pastor Vincent gave us on Sunday were these three:

(a) A.W. Tozer: “A frightened world needs a fearless church.”

(c) C.S. Lewis: “Human beings have this curious idea that they ought to behave a certain way, and they cannot really get rid of it.”

Which of these three was your favorite, and why?

2. Communitive justice means “living in right relationships with God and others – treating others as uniquely valuable as image-bearers of God.” Do you ever struggle to see (& treat) others as uniquely valuable image-bearers of God?
