Second Advent - Be Ready

as chistians we are told to be doing many things

pray without ceasing

be being filled with the spirit

put on the mind of christ

Balancing act. Operate in your gifts, what excites you, but not to the exclusion of the rest. Social justice. End times. Bible study. Worship. Preaching/teaching. Environment.

theological angst

grow into room for nuance, apparent contradictions.

Expectations

Collect

O God, whose blessed Son came into the world that he might destroy the works of the devil and make us children of God and heirs of eternal life:Grant that, having this hope, we may purify ourselves as he is pure; that, when he comes again with power and great glory, we may be made like him in his eternal and glorious kingdom; where he lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen

Be ready for the second advent.

2Peter
