Love to see nations break free to flourish in their unique and beautiful, God-given design and purpose. How enriched and blessed we all are when individuals and nations step into what God has purposed for them! Love this!

Dana,
Yes, I agree. The church is united in Christ and He is worthy of being praised in as many creative ways as there are individuals. Every nation will express His praise according to their unique gifts. As the church we can celebrate diversity the way God meant it to be. The full expression of His glory. I can’t wait to see Heaven!
Thanks for the conversation! I appreciate your insight.

I definitely agree with you. It is difficult, because at the same time I think we do need to recognize the unity of the church across cultural boundaries.

And I didn’t realize my gravatar thing came up on this site. They are weird…follow you everywhere. Mine happens to be my two year old’s right eye…

Dana,
I look forward to reading it!
Globalization reminds me of the Tower of Babel. Everyone wanted to come together in direct disobedience to the command,”Fill the whole earth.” Diversity was God’s plan. It seems to me that “global citizens” would lose their distinction as tongues, tribes, and nations.

Gee…I think I’ve read that somewhere before…: )

It reminds me of something I read recently by Noah Webster about education and American history. I don’t think he would have liked the idea of the “global citizen.” I’ll have to dig up the essay and post on it later!
