Changed By God To Make A Difference For God

In our epistle lesson this morning, Paul talks about what will happen to the living and dead in Christ when he returns. Based on what he says about the living faithful being caught up in the clouds with Jesus so that we can meet him in the air and be with him forever, is Paul telling us our destiny is heaven? Not so fast, my friends! There's a lot more to this than meets the eye! Check out what Fr. Maney has to say about this and see what you think. Lectionary texts for today are Joshua 24.1-3a, 14-25; Psalm 78.1-7; 1 Thessalonians 4.13-18; Matthew 25.1-13.
