Ephesians 2:19-22 (NIV)

¹⁹ Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with God’s people and also members of his household, ²⁰ built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone. ²¹ In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord. ²² And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit

.

Reflection:

When constructing any building, the cornerstone is so important because all the other stones are set in reference to this stone, determining the position of the entire structure.  Christ serves as our reference point and is the foundation on which the apostles and prophets were built.  What is amazing is that we have been included, as citizens and family members, being built together as his church on this immovable foundation of Christ.  And it is with much confidence that we are reminded that it is together on this foundation, where his Spirit dwells.

Response:

Let’s thank God for calling us out of where we were and into his family.  Let’s thank him for our churches and pray that he would continue to build us up together on this foundation of Jesus Christ to be places where his Spirit lives and actively moves among us.

We here at USDemocrazy love to tweet! But there are some things that should just remain tweetless.

Enter New York Representative Anthony Weiner.  The married congressman was recently caught tweeting a scandalous photo to a 21-year old woman. If you haven’t seen the offending photo already it depicts, shall we say, his y-fronts fully loaded.

The (unfortunately named) Mr Weiner repeatedly denied the accusations of his photo tweet. However, on Monday at a press conference he offered a tearful apology for his recent exposure.

He admitted to being involved with six different women through Internet relationships. Although he told his wife about the previous correspondences she seemed to be unaware of the more recent photograph.

Despite the revealing controversy, Weiner has decided to stay in office claiming that he didn’t legally do anything wrong:

I don’t see anything in what I did that violated the rules of the House…I don’t believe I did anything that violates any law or any rule

Maybe next time he should keep his photos under wraps.
