“Can I really be included in the family?”

Religion excluded you.  Jesus Christ died to include you. 

There is good news for people in East Hollywood who’ve been stiff-armed by well-meaning religious people. 

While visiting a church in Dallas I was touched by a message about this by guest speaker Wade Hodges.  His sermon centered around the “baptism of inclusion” in the story of Philip and the Ethiopian Eunich.  I heard this message back in June, and I’m still thinking about it… 

If I have time I will write up a summary of Wade’s main points.  Until then, you can listen to his podcast by clicking here.
