Don't Drink the Kool-Aid
Often religion seems to be about conformity, about everyone thinking and acting the same. But in John’s vision of the End, we see God’s plan is to rescue and restore people from every culture and nation in human history. We’ll be together, but the myriad ways we follow God’s call will be preserved and celebrated. How can we begin embracing the diversity of God’s kingdom in the here and now?

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?
