Thanks Dana. I agree with Willard. The blessings comes in the midst, not as a reward. I will be posting on the series as we go through them. Great to see your name popping up again!

Peace,
Jamie

I’ve so much appreciated Dallas Willard’s take on the SOM: first, that it’s a unity; second, that it’s not another set of rules, but rather snapshots of how Kingdom of God people will be acting; third, that the Beatitudes are describing people upstanding religious folk of Jesus’ day would *not* consider to be blessed (If you’re mourning, something terrible must have happened to you- therefore how could you be blessed? etc.)- but Jesus’ message is, God is active and working in these lives, and calling *them too*- the Kingdom is open to everyone, not just those who “look good”. Certainly pertains how you are serving.
