FORGIVENESS TOUR

Your homework, due next week, is to go on a "forgiveness tour.” You are to contact past family members, mysteriously estranged friends, and relationships that came to an abrupt ending. Say the following:

"I am on a forgiveness tour. And I want to perform for you next! So [name of the person], if there’s anything that you feel I owe you an apology for, I want to hear it. And I’m granting full immunity, meaning I can't promise you I will apologize (how authentic would that be?). But I DO promise you that we will not have a fight. And I thank you in advance for helping the truth to set me free (John 8:32)”

You’ll get extra credit if you draw out information that you would never have known from this assignment. Afterwards, submit your experience in an oral presentation below.

 
PLAY BIBLICAL DETECTIVE
Your homework is to secretly observe a conversation that you suspect will escalate into a full-blown argument. This can be done by watching a television drama, talk show, attending a family reunion, or witnessing an abrupt break-up. Pay attention to the social animation of those yells and labeling. And analyze the exact social moment of the change. What was it that set it off: constant interruptions, a harsh word, seniority issues, bias (ect)? Afterwards find a scripture in Proverbs that may have been useful to the performers of this heated exchange.

Note: Keep it Christian. Please do not incite an actual argument for this assignment. And remember, this is Biblical Algebra; show your work below.


WE'RE "AFTER LAUGHTER"

Perhaps the easiest beginning of any monthly assignment, your homework is to catch laughter itself in the wrong place at the wrong time. Notice the spiritual effects it can have on the psychology of a person. And report on the following:

  • Where was this laughter aiming at spiritually?
  • Did this laughter demonstrate a need to escape in any way?
  • Did it cause any intellectual traffic to logical reasoning?
  • Who or what was the laughter campaigning for?
  • What was the social atmosphere around it?

 Hear that laughter along with the following scriptures:

  •  "Sorrow is better than laughter: for by the sadness of the countenance the heart is made better (Ecclesiastes 7:3).” 
  • "For as the crackling of thorns under a pot, so is the laughter of the fool: this also is vanity (Ecclesiastes 7:6).”
  • "Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness (James 4:9).”  
Remember to "show your work” below:

1 IN / 1 OUT... FOR 1 WEEK!

Your homework assignment for this month is to mentally adopt one person outside your family, who you deal with routinely (co-worker, college partner) for one week. Pretend they are a blood relative and a beneficiary of every family tradition:

  • Rhetorical forgiveness
  • Patient, interest free loans
  • Initiated concern for one’s happiness
  • Social seniority
  • Special resource contacts & referrals
Conversely, choose one family member to denounce for a week (only from the benefits above). Take notes on the reactions toward you and write them below. During this week bear in mind the irony that eventually… we are ALL family (Revelation 5:9).
