Well ultimately we have to be looking for what’s true, rather than just what’s clever.
I found my backing in what’s true. It’s the Lord. And it ain’t an academic exercise to me. I am a spiritual optimist and it’s strange and yet gratifying to tell all those gloom mongers that I have better news for them than they ever hoped to believe. A non wimpy gospel with power in it for now, not just for after pushing up daisies.
Yeah, it can sometimes be easy to overlook the deeper, bigger picture of life while we're struggling with all the rot in our socio-political situation.
