There has been a lot going on lately. Criticism. Changes in staffing. Mixed signals. Failures in leadership. Untimely equipment failures. Writer\u2019s block. Sickness. Uncertainties. Overwhelming noise. Overwhelming silence. Great needs. Deep needs.<\/p>\n
God is doing a mighty work among us.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s the little things; they add up so quickly. And then big things come and overwhelm our minds, our emotions, our bodies.<\/p>\n
God is doing a mighty work among us.<\/p>\n
Our church community, in the last two months, has had no less than fifteen families lose immediate family members. Parents. Grandparents. Daughters. Sons. It affected me so strongly, so unexpectedly that I wrote a lament for our church family. I\u2019ve never written a lament.<\/p>\n

In her wisdom, a good friend recently wrote this refrain and we would do well to keep it in mind. The challenges always come, and it can seem so cliche to talk of persecution, of some mysterious negative force that moves against us.

The truth of the matter is that we cannot redeem the world. We cannot make it all better, we cannot re-create, we cannot fully heal, we cannot fully restore.<\/p>\n

God is doing a mighty work among us.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s not up to us. But it includes us.<\/p>\n
God is doing a mighty work among us.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s wholly other, it\u2019s beautiful, it\u2019s majestic. But it\u2019s slow.<\/p>\n
God is doing a mighty work among us.<\/p>\n
Christ has died. Christ is Risen. Christ will come again.<\/p>\n
God\u00a0is doing a mighty work among us.<\/p>\n
God is doing a mighty work among us.<\/p>\n
God is doing a mighty work among us.<\/p>\n
