Interrupted by the Spirit

"Too often we tend to think of faith as a one time decision, perhaps at our baptism or when we join a particular church. Peter’s story offers us another way of imagining our faith, one of process and discovery--of making mistakes, of changing one's mind, of having our ways of understanding God and the world challenged, enlarged, of being--as Peter was that day in Caesarea--interrupted by the Spirit....That's part of the journey of faith. It’s not measured in how firmly our feet are planted, but how expansive our love becomes." --Pastor Nancy Scripture texts: Acts 10:44-48, 1 John 5:1-6, John 15:9-17.
