Spend any time on any news channel and you quickly learn that we live in desperate times and there is no hope. For any topic you can name, you can find terrible news. Even the church is disappearing...or so say the experts/pundits.
And in the midst of this, folks like us continue to attend church, continue to live in the messiness of community, continue to feed the hungry, clothe the naked, heal the sick...even when our efforts fall far short of our call.
Seeing life with resurrection eyes means focusing on the good that comes from the grace of God. Sometimes resurrection is hard to see...but it is there for the seeing. Living resurrection lives means learning to see God at work and not sin at work. Sin never wins...even though it's sometimes hard to see that. Our history has shown us that God is at work. Our present is our opportunity to show the world that God is at work.
