One Cannot Live on Bread Alone: Family Reflection Video

I went to a museum … a bible museum.

I recently visited the Museum of the Bible in Washington D.C. and was pleasantly surprised to find it full of people, tech-savvy, and not at all preachy. My favorite exhibit showed the creation of the world using light, from the words spoken by the Creator: “Let there be light.”

The museum stands out to me as a beacon of unity and honesty about the Word of God. We need the Word of God that speaks to the most profound longing of the human heart for God.

How do we encourage unity among others? Do we represent the faith well?

Let us pray today for understanding and unity in the faith, and for our brothers and sisters. Amen.
