Herodians

Semon text Matt. 22:15ff, IN our discussion we restled with how we could be like the Herodians who were mainly concerned about their temporal position in the world rather than the Kingdom of God. We can get all worked up about social issues and the new legislation coming out of Washington and forget that our first priority as Christians is to preach the gospel.

Anither question that we did not discuss is can we also be like the Pharisees who were overly concerned about fine points of doctrine but did not do well on putting it all into practice. Its fine to consider what is the greatest commandment but actually living it out is so much more important.

Your comments are welcome as well as your questions.
