Sophies Choice

Tuesday July 5th, Romans 3: Well then, are we Jews better than others? No, not at all, for we have already shown that all people, whether Jews or Gentiles, are under the power of sin. As the Scriptures say, “No one is good--not even one. In the eyes of God we are all the children of God. The movie "Sophie's Choice" follows the life of a woman who in the concentration camps of WWII Germany had 10 seconds to choose which of her two children was to live and which one was to die. The rest of her life is spent trying to deal with making that choice. Could you choose? What criteria would you use? As we celebrate our nations birthday, how are we doing on being a reflection of the kingdom of God? Do we treat each other as brothers and sisters in Christ? Do our actions as a nation result in a "Sophie's Choice" for God?
