Society has a way dehumanising us. Of causing us to fail to see our worth before God. Of making us little more than objects to whom advertisers make their pitch, and about whom governments create statistics and form policies to keep everything safe and predictable. And religion without vision also has this effect reducing us to the status of law keepers – or lawbreakers, classifying us according to what we believe or do not believe. And categorising us according to the way in which we conform or do not conform to the expectations of the church or denomination in which we happen to find ourselves. It is easy to lose track of who we are – and whose we are – and to slip into the old ways – the way of the law and it’s regulations; the way of trying to please God by adhering to a code that measures our worth by what we do and our value by what we refrain from doing
