Philemon 1:1-24
In the letter to Philemon, Paul is encouraging his brother-in-Christ to do something radical: to willingly lay down some of his power in order to change. Paul is sending Onesimus back to Philemon, letter in hand, asking Philemon to accept Onesimus back as a brother-in-Christ, not just during the church service, but every day of the week. Do we ever allow our power to be set aside for change to occur, or do we only use it to prevent change?
