Inclusive
I read: Romans 11
One of the hardest things to accept about God's family is that he accepts everyone. That's pretty much the gist of 11 as Paul takes his time to explain that to his readers. The tricky part of all this is that you can't be cocky about it either, 'cause at one time or another your peeps were the folks on the outs with God. But now everything has been set aright.
Getting past the Jew/Gentile tension of Paul's day, I think that there are definitely folks sitting in churches today wishing that they didn't have to be in the same building as others. This much later and we're still not clued in to the fact that we don't get to pick and choose our family. Props for consistency at least :)
I don't have much writing in me today :(

This goes back to your thoughts on relationships (discussed off of dLog). How we relate to others is a true picture of how we relate to God. We definitely see that through the OT with the Israelites and it is a big part of the picture that Jesus tried to portray.
