Living in the Tension between Grace and Law
Should we be permissive or rigid when it comes to laws? We tend to err on one side or the other because living with the tension between the two is difficult. But we find that tension in Scripture - God refuses to give us easy answers because God wants to live in the tension with us.

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?
