The Grace of Christ be with you!
What does the future hold? Ultimately, of course, the future promises the return of Christ and the beginning of God’s peaceable kingdom on earth. I call this God’s redemption of time. Time, which had worked against God’s good creation by introducing decay and death, is redeemed by the hope of Christ’s return and by allowing time for the victims of decay (e.g., decadence) to repent and believe.
The church faces many controversial issues both internally and with the world. The challenge is to call people to act while denouncing violence as a response to others or a means to accomplish its goals. How can the church speak boldly but responsibly as it faces divisive issues?
-
Use prayer to stay on path of Christ.
-
Refuse to demonize opposing views.
-
Tell the truth as you see it in love.
-
Vote & go with will of the majority.
-
Return love for hate to break hate’s hold.
-
Model and teach self-control.
Rather than get its way, the church seeks to stay on the Way of Christ. Our goal is to be faithful, success such as it is, comes from God. So rather than pulling out all the stops and using vitriolic language to motivate people, the church seeks to tell the truth in love and trusts in the Holy Spirit to move people to act on the teachings of Christ.
Blessings, Will
