We are separated by invisible walls.
Invisible barriers of race, religion, culture, class, sexual orientation, gender, generation, health, education, language etc. isolate us from each other.
Even in public we can feel alone because stereotypes and prejudices erect ramparts around us.
Unconsciously we separate people into us and them - who is in and who is out.
But God is One.
God is the God of All.
And His messengers challenge our unconscious fears.
So open your heart to all God's people.
And bring down your invisible walls.

Agreed! Tribalism might be a natural development, but it is not a good one. We who follow Jesus cannot consistently participate in tribalism.
