Working against injustice and all that is broken in our world begins with seeking God, who loves justice and who longs for the world to flourish... But the work of justice is hard and long. And while seeing justice accomplished brings one of the most exhilirating joys a follower of Jesus Christ could ever know, the journey to victory is fraught with difficulties. More often than not, perseverance is the deciding factor. - Bethany Hanke Hoang and Kristen Deede Johnson, The Justice Calling
Waiting for Peace - 11.30.25 | Dr. Cyndi Parker
The Advent season should come as a reminder to us that we can never be, and should not be, adjusted to the world. We are here to proclaim the reality and the imminence of a wholly other world, a world in which different powers rule and different standards operate. We are here to make it possible for ordinary men and women really to believe this, and therefore to live in hope and readiness. - Lesslie Newbigin, The Good Shepherd
King Jesus - 11.23.25 | Rev. Chris Currie
It is the call of the Son from heaven, and the vision of the new Jerusalem descending from heaven, that pushes back on our illusions that we could figure this all out, that we could bring this about. Shalom is not biblical language for progressivist social amelioration. Shalom is a Christ-haunted call to long for kingdom come. - James K. A. Smith, Awaiting the King
