Who emails anymore? Well, some do, of course. Paul and other epistle writers would have used any method of communication to share the message they brought. Maybe we can think of email as a place to enlarge the conversation. We can go a little deeper, invite serious thinking, and seek input and responses to the ideas and plans put forth. Is it possible to hear the gospel as an invitation to engage in dialog? Are we allowed to ask questions and consider the implications and applications of what we read or hear? Certainly! That’s what it means to be engaged as the "Dear Children of God."
