“Our culture has trained us regarding not only what to do with money but also how to view the rest of creation as a set of commodities to be used for narrow economic goals. But economic practices that reduce the world to a set of commodities to be used and discarded are in conflict with God’s delight in the goodness of creation for its own sake. Once again, God’s solution is not to get rid of humanity. Rather God intends to restore us as ambassadors of his loving rule.” Practicing the King’s Economy, pg. 219

We can be employed in the world without losing hope. Instead of being beaten down by co-workers and bosses, we can take up our crosses as ambassadors of God’s New Creation that is, even now, breaking into the world.

Do you know a backyard mechanic or just somebody who likes to work on things around the house? If Jesus Christ is their Lord and they’ve got Wednesday evenings free, do encourage them to become a mentor. 💪

Ready for Evening Prayer!

Remember 🎗️: Evening Prayer is this (and every) Wednesday at 6:30p at 611 Shelby Ave.

The world knows our hypocrisy, so we should claim it as our own. We name our sin, not because we’re proud of it, but because it points to the hope we all have in Jesus Christ. His blood covers our hypocrisy and we’ll declare it to the ends of the earth.
