The Right Thing?

The Lewis Center for Church Leadership, a great resource for church leaders, encourages people to not be so concerned with having the right answers as much as asking the right questions (this comes as a relief to those of us who are not the "sharpest tools in the shed"). Often, we begin worship at Light of the Canyon with a question, or series of questions. Last week, the scripture text was Mark 2:23-3:6. We opened worship with the following questions. How do we know what is the right thing to do? How do we know what God desires? Is the right thing that which is legal? Or is it something more? Jesus cared very deeply about his followers doing the right thing. Only sometimes, the right thing did not seem like it to others? How do we know what is the right thing to do?
