blue bits. red rocks.

Millions and millions of Americans have bought into the lie of the American Dream and they are in no position to transition out of its dying grasp. Their jobs are tied to industries that are disappearing and they have sunk their life savings into homes that are losing value. Their investment is going, going, gone as is their hope for the future. What will the Church of Jesus Christ offer to millions of people who have lost their hope? We must first make sure that our hearts are pure and that we have forsaken the things of this world. If the Church is eaten up with hopelessness because our housing values and 401k’s have dropped, then what can we offer the world? We must get our heads out of the sand and realize that God is our hope and identity, not our jobs, our homes, or our fading standard of living. If we do not have that hope ourselves, then what will we offer to others? DownshoreDrift
