Dear Vertically Integrated Hopefuls,

Mass shootings in America, stock market crashes, an economy that seems to be turning down, India annexing Kashmir, Commercial vessels being taken hostage, the seemingly never ending horror of Syria, Taft’s is closing this weekend, and the list goes on and on. Small wonder newspaper circulations are down as this is the worrying news that is reported. Sometimes I think the world has gone completely mad and I don’t recognise it any longer.

The writer of the Letter to the Hebrews says this, “faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen”. This is great news in such a mad world as it promises us that through faith we can imagine, we can hope for a better world, a world as yet, unseen. Even in the apparent chaos and increasingly unsettled world we can still have hope which is the very basis of our lives and joy.

Someone said to me recently that in times of crisis the attendance at churches often increases – that’s because we above so many others have this hope for a better world and society. Let’s hold fast to that as we go about spreading that hope to a world in increasing despair and darkness. Let’s drop all the gloom we can see and move into a world hoped for that as yet we may not be able to see or imagine.

Grant.
