Many: Sin is the drought that dries the heart and splits the community like cracks in the parched, hard earth.
One: But even though we are dehydrated and cracked from sin we choose not to be quenched in springs of God’s Grace and Love.
Many: God doesn’t mince words – the words are clear. If we hesitate and allow sin to permeate God’s house of worship.... God is quick to confront us with a strong hand, a whip of justice, a call to purity and a chalice of eternal life.
All: May we worship tonight not as a den of wolves, but as the body of Christ consumed with "compassion’s kindling fire that lights in us the path to live as God desires."
