Many of us are passionate about grappling with "big picture" issues. Whether we discuss current political events, trends in the church/religious world, our the moral state of society, we take a certain satisfaction in being aware, in having intelligent analyses--in knowing what's right and wrong. As Christian believers in the second coming of Jesus, we sometimes retreat to "Well, the LORD must be coming soon..."--especially when our analysis point to society's decay. I wonder if we sometimes carry an unnecessarily sad tune. We may lament today's reality, but we have an inner joy, right? Yet, when we talk with others, do we sometimes fail to communicate that latter part. I'm starting to consider my own young adolescent children. As I share my concerns about things like gay marriage, the efforts of some colleges to de-recognize religious groups (especially Christian ones), etc., am I communicating hopelessness? How can I balance the very real decline I see with the Blessed hope, the sure confidence that I have in Christ?
