    Jesus was with God at creation. He was there as a word. At Christmas we celebrate the incarnation of that word. His communication creates a reality and gives us hope for a better future.

    Advent is a time of preparation. We are preparing for the celebration of the birth of the baby Jesus. At the same, we also wait for the Second Coming, waiting for the consummation of God and God’s creation. We are waiting and we are preparing. As we prepare we must enter into dialogue.

    Advent 4: We are all strugglers. And yet, God takes the life of a young ’struggler’ named Mary, and brings through her the Savior of the World - Jesus.

    Have you ever watched an aquarium? They can be wonderfully relaxing. It’s almost like staring into a fantasy world – a world of bright vivid colors; a world of soothing, peaceful motion; a world of blissful joy. But if you’ve ever owned an aquarium, you know that they’re actually delicately ...read more

     | 6,333 views

    The times, like those of post-Exilic Jerusalem, require us to wait. Will it be passive, impassive, or active waiting? Active waiting means seeing that what God has done He will do again. God will enlist us and shape us to work for His purposes.

    “We wait. We are bored. No, don’t protest, we are bored to death, there’s no denying it. … A diversion comes along and what do we do? We let it go to waste . . . .In an instant all will vanish and we’ll be alone once more, in the midst of nothingness!” So speaks one of the characters in Samuel ...read more
