Why do you think God is opposed to the practice of property expansion? What motivates people to expand their property holdings? How do you see people today “adding house to house and joining field to field”? As a society, how do we reward accumulation of houses or land?
Why do you think people pursue purchase of vacation condos, winter homes in Florida, summer homes in Michigan, downtown weekend condos, etc? If you own extra housing/property, how could you use it for the benefit of others?
If you don’t own property, how might this passage relate to you?
This is DAY 20! Lent is half over! How has participation in the Lenten Compact changed you so far?
Tongue on Fire 
Getting to know Michael over the past 20 days has been most profound for me. I no longer talk about “the homeless”. I now refer to “people who have no home” or “people who are displaced.” No matter what their housing status, I do not want to lose their humanity. Those without homes are still people. Thanks to the Compact, I see people, not a statistic or condition.
