Jim Wallis: Looking for the Next Great Awakening
Last night Jim Wallis spoke at the historic Park Street Church about hope. Though we have mountains to move - poverty both global and domestic, climate change, sex trafficking - we have Christ's promise that our faith can move mountains. The Gospel always comes as good news in the midst of bad news; it does not ignore the evils of our world, but it creates a new order in which those evils can no longer stand.
For too long, the church has asked for the edges of believers' lives. When the two great hungers of our age connect - the hunger for spirituality and the hunger for social justice - we will find a faith worthy of our full commitment. Then the acceptable will be acceptable no longer and the impossible will become possible. God's Kingdom will flourish among us - a new order of righteousness in the midst of the old.
