Our Father's Business



Isaiah says, “Sing for joy, O heavens, and exult, O earth! Break forth, O mountains, into singing! For the Lord has comforted his people, and will have compassion on his suffering ones”

In this dark time, when powers and principalities oppress God’s suffering ones, Christians can rejoice indeed.  For we are blessed, as once more we await with great anticipation the birth of the One Who loves us.  Unlike Isaiah, we know that all time has changed forever; eternity has already begun, for Christ is coming again to us, who were without hope. 

Let us love and serve one another with such great peace and joy that those who see us will be stunned that we, who do not have all the power and wealth of the great ones of the world, are happy.  We, for whom enough is a feast, always have sufficient to share, even when the powers of the earth will not. 

Let us dance lightly upon our way, with song and laughter to mark our journey.  We are no longer alone.  Together we are building the Kingdom of God.  Come  my brothers and sisters, we must be about our Father’s business!
