"To love our ethnicity with sober judgment and place it under Christ’s lordship puts us in a good position to love the ethnicity of our neighbor because we have learned the value of it in our own lives and have received God’s blessing through it."

When we think of multiethnic ministry, there is a common perspective that there is just no place for ethnic specific ministry because it leads to tribalism and divides Christians. But as the Director of InterVarsity’s Latino Ministry (called LaFe), I am convinced the opposite is true: ethnic specifi…

For those of you who were wondering how the early Christians practiced 1 Corinthians 5, here is a good example. This is Polycarp, bishop of Smyrna, writing to the Philippian church. They had deposed an elder for *greed* and excommunicated him. I'm guessing there was some kind of theft or embezzlement involved. Maybe just extravagant living? In any case, it's totally fascinating, and it's the earliest example of Christian, character-based meritocracy. Notice the tone of hope for the deposed elder.
‘I am greatly grieved for Valens, who was once a presbyter among you, because he so little understands the place that was given him [in the Church]. I exhort you, therefore, that ye abstain from covetousness, and that ye be chaste and truthful. ‘Abstain from every form of evil.’ (1 Th.5:22) For if a man cannot govern himself in such matters, how shall he enjoin them on others? If a man does not keep himself from covetousness, he shall be defiled by idolatry, and shall be judged as one of the heathen. But who of us are ignorant of the judgment of the Lord? ‘Do we not know that the saints shall judge the world?’ (1 Cor.6:2) as Paul teaches. But I have neither seen nor heard of any such thing among you, in the midst of whom the blessed Paul laboured, and who are commended in the beginning of his Epistle. For he boasts of you in all those Churches which alone then knew the Lord; but we [of Smyrna] had not yet known Him. I am deeply grieved, therefore, brethren, for him (Valens) and his wife; to whom may the Lord grant true repentance! And be ye then moderate in regard to this matter, and ‘do not count such as enemies,’ (2 Th.3:15) but call them back as suffering and straying members, that ye may save your whole body. For by so acting ye shall edify yourselves.’ (Polycarp’s Epistle to the Philippians, chapter 11) Polycarp lived from about 65 – 155 AD, was discipled by the apostle John, became bishop of Smyrna, and was teacher of Irenaeus (130 – 200 AD), who became bishop of Lyon and author of Against Heresies, probably the greatest work of Christian theology in the second century.

This Friday is World Student Day in the International Fellowship of Evangelical Students (IFES) - of which InterVarsity is a member organization. This week, I'll send out information about praying for sister movements all over the world - one or two a day - and I'd encourage you to set aside 10 min to read one of the prayer profiles and pray at least one time during the week.

Today let's pray for our sister movement Sierra Leone Fellowship of Evangelical Students (SLEFES)
