We all are at risk and none of us is guaranteed the easy road, so repent and be transformed, Jesus tells us, to meet God as a companion rather than imagining him as a tyrant. 

Jesus calls out his listeners by asking them to recognize the signs of the present time. How do we see where God is at work today, in the world and in our private lives?

I just wasn’t feeling God’s presence. Or so I thought.

Things can change in an instant, but that doesn’t mean we should cravenly hoard what we might give to the world. We’re asked for much. So why not give much?

Checking in with a friend or passing on a kind word will make us far richer—and happier—than anything being shown to me in a targeted Instagram post.
