"Do not forsake your friend and the friend of your father, and do not go to your brother's house when disaster strikes you-- better a neighbor nearby than a brother far away." -- Proverbs 27:10

It's said that "blood is thicker than water"... that when it comes right down to it, family is really all we have in this world.  But in the body of Christ, who is family?  Are we not all brothers and sisters?  And if so, what would the world look like if we lived with our neighbors in a way we lived with family?  We might disagree on things, but we all want what's best for our families.  Is that realistically possible?  I would argue that it is.  What do you think?

Readings:  Ezekiel 18:1-19:14; Hebrews 9:1-10; Psalm 106:32-48; Proverbs 27:10
