"We preach and so you believed," 1 Corinthians 15:11.
You know, we really don't agree with the way God's fixing the world. In fact, we don't think he even gets it, what to do about wars, about human atrocities, about climate, about failed justice, about natural disasters. We ask: Why doesn't God do something about ... (fill in the blank). Yeah. So, if God loves us, he doesn't have the power to fix it; or, if God has the power, he doesn't love us because he's not fixing it. No matter: here's how God's fixing it, fixing us: Preaching the Word about Jesus and creating living faith in him.
When we meet a brother or sister today we share lives in the God who loves and does. And together we say, Thank you, Father, for the faith of Christ.
