The Moment Before the Moment

This Sunday’s experience at Gateway reminded me of this moment from the past. It seems to me that Rob’s thoughts on ADVENT are a great companion piece to John’s thoughts on quieting ourselves to hear God.

The bigness of the connected reality of Jesus’ communities is so beautiful to me... and I consider it such a blessing that we can hear little glimpses of what he’s up to all around us.

May he whisper clearly and directly to you personally!


Side note (if for some reason you find yourself still reading this far in)...

If you’re ever curious as to why I include links.... I carry a deep conviction that we should not just accept all information that passes our way. It seems of great significance that we should explore carefully the questions and claims that we our offered in every moment through so many sources.
