Here's the blog entry I posted for "Opening the Bible" this week at i.ucc

This week's Bible reading from Acts 11:1-18 really expresses the message of God's unconditional love and extravagant welcome for EVERYONE. A couple of years ago this passage inspired a song . . .

Who Does God Love?
Words and music by Kirk Moore

CHORUS
Who does God love?
Everyone!
Who does God love?
Everyone!
Who does God love?
Everyone!
Everyone! (No exceptions)

"Hate your enemies- Love your friends "
God shows love for all
"It’s my club and you don’t blend"
God shows love for all
"You don’t eat the right foods – no way!"
God shows love for all
"You’re not welcome if you dress that way"
God shows love for all

CHORUS

"We don’t agree – I’m right – not you"
God shows love for all
Maybe we should show love too
God shows love for all

CHORUS
