Let's not participate in the chaos and confusion. Let's not be overcome and devoured by it. Let's not act as if we are living in a low stakes reality show. There's so much at stake if we don't move forward in truth, goodness, strength and love.

What about love? The real genuine, caring community type of love that sees the dignity and worth of every person and gives them space to exist and grow and flourish? The kind of love that brings the best of who we are to help uplift one another. The wolves are telling us to devour others. STOP!

Can we, will we get back to the fundamentals to reset this madness? What about starting with truth? I believe if we collectively demand truth and integrity over manipulation and lies, we can shut out much of the destructive noise. We can render propaganda powerless. We can demand better.

In this fast-paced world of distraction, half truths, weariness and fearmongering, it's becoming increasingly difficult to find unity, peace, truth, hope, love. Can we opt out of this web of destruction? Will we opt out of the things that are destroying us and refuse to participate in them?

The church changes the world only when it’s not thinking about changing the world, but simply trying to imitate Jesus and create a community of egalitarian love.
The moment the church sets out to CHANGE THE WORLD™️…it just becomes the world.

My older friend sent me this one-sentence message: “I believe that the answer to today’s woes is pretty simple but also hard—- authentic spiritual formation.”

Virtue contrasts with innocence, which Milton characterizes as a state in which one is protected or sheltered from evil, making the choice of evil not even an option. Innocence sees no evil; virtue sees it and rejects it.
