Warts & All

We’re convinced that spirituality is all about putting on the perfect front. But when we fake perfection, we cover up the good news of Jesus’ new life. We rob the world of seeing that Jesus transforms us from death to life, from imperfection to health and wholeness. The good news isn’t perfection. It’s transformation!

In a world increasingly divided and hopeless, even something as simple as respectful disagreement seems impossible. But the prophets who taught Israel how to long for the birth of the Messiah made bold promises: weapons formed into gardening tools; wolves and sheep living in harmony; deserts blooming. Such promises seem impossible – like pure imaginative fiction. But God’s promises aren’t fiction. They’re a future God is bringing into existence. Jesus birth proves God is with us, that God is working. We can have purified imaginations, see the world as it will be, and begin to work for that world now. What does it mean to be a people of Advent?

Advent means the impossible has been made possible!
