“He will not lift up his voice….” (from the pen of the prophet Isaiah)
When the Church can put aside glitz and glamor, and humbly meet the world on the terrain of shared suffering and inexhaustible love, then we will change the world for which we’ve been made.
We need more than just a strong moral code to live with that kind of humble power, but rather the indwelling power of the Holy Spirit to enable the Church to love in this humanity-dignifying and others-elevating manner.
