    Lifted Up: The Silence Is Broken

    Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 17, 2026
     | 12 views

    The universe is not silent. Jesus Christ has been lifted up, and the voice of God now stands over every life as revealed meaning, not self-created purpose.

    The modern world tells us a story. It rarely announces it out loud. It doesn’t need to. It simply assumes it — and we absorb it by living inside it. The story says the universe is ultimately quiet. That there is no voice behind it. No intention beneath it. No meaning given — only meaning made. We ...read more
