Promise". Studying Genesis in the SSnet.org series
Lesson 7, the Holy Spirit is the speaker. The Opening Hymn will be 229 "Spirit
of the Living God" The Sabbath School Quarterly, downloadable
from SSnet.org in the Teacher's Edition is on page 89 and for the laymen
edition or Standard Edition, on page 60. The SSnet.org site allows anyone, anywhere
to read the lesson in their own language. Choose your own language to see God
speaking also to your heart. ---Compare the hospitality of Abraham,
waiting for guests to come at his door of his tent, running to them when they
come. Caring for them. ---Compare this with digimodernists
cultures: running away from guests. ---Guests not interested to come because
they must bring money or gifts. ---Modern cultures are: instead of the joy
of visiting, the burden of visiting: clean the house for visitors extra clean,
burden of giving gifts to each other. Costly. ---There are cultures in Africa where gifts
are not expected and not exchanged. Families visits each other almost every day
or second day. They sleep over on weekends. Houses are
full of people sleeping anywhere where there is a space. ---This was Abraham's style. ---Digimodernism and smartphone
preoccupation has stolen this from us.
