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.
