Merciful God, you have prepared for those who love you such good things as pass our understanding: pour into our hearts such love toward you that we, loving you in all things and above all things, may obtain your promises, which exceed all that we can desire; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who is alive and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.
Readings: Genesis 18:20-32
Abraham’s bold challenge of God’s intention to punish wicked Sodom, and God’s response, offers a potent illustration of divine judgement, divine mercy and corporate forgiveness.

Paul lays out the total commitment that’s required to live a life in Christ, alongside a warning against losing focus, pursuing pointless restrictions and chasing personal desires.
