A summary of today’s Overtures Committee votes.

The Ad Interim Committee on Abuse has delivered advice on 48th GA Overtures 40 and 41 to the Overtures Committee as requested by last year’s General Assembly in St. Louis.

If we confess our sins, because of His faithful love, from which nothing can separate us, we experience anew the wonder of forgiveness and a restoration of the joy of our salvation.

This is the promise of the gospel: that one day everything sad will come untrue, and everything broken will be made new.

The report can be updated until it is delivered at the General Assembly.

Our specialness, our identity in Christ, is found not in something inherent to us but in his honor.

The SJC encouraged MOP to consider “how specific statements of some speakers at Revoice 18 may have differed from the propositions of the report of the GA’s Ad Interim Committee on Sexuality.”

In Christ, all that God had promised is now ours. We are secure in him.

“I long for children to be seen as a vital part of the covenant family. They are the littlest sheep, and we get to point them to the best Shepherd, Jesus!”

The rainbow tells us that our relationship with God, and his care for the world, does not depend upon us.
