Faith. Hope. And Love. AKA Jesus.

Song of the Day - Helplessness Blues from Fleet Foxes’ new album…Helplessness Blues
The difference between faith as ‘belief in something that may or may not exist’ and faith as ‘trusting in God’ is enormous. The first is a matter of the head, the second a matter of the heart. The first can leave us unchanged; the second intrinsically brings change.
Brennan Manning, The Ragamuffin Gospel
The conquest of the world, the triumph of technology, and the omnipresence of shopping malls - our temples to consumption - are not the tools by which the human spirit can be repaired. Of that there should be no doubt now, for if affluence, and the bright, shiny world in which it arises, could be the solvent of all human maladies that lie submerged beneath the surface of life, then this anomie, this bewilderment of the soul, would long since have been banished. The truth, in fact, is that the conquest of our external world seems to be in inverse relation to the conquest of our inner world. The more we triumph in one, the less we seem able to hold together in the other.

This is beautiful and heart-wrenching.
What the postmodern world celebrates in its rejection of all absolutes and in its assumed right to define all reality privately is a sign of God’s wrath.
