It has been more than a year since the pandemic began, and we are just now beginning to see the return of some degree of normalcy. The past year has proven that many of the constants that we take for granted can disappear in a moment’s notice, and institutions, rituals, and routines that we once participated in or observed on auto-pilot we are having to re-lean how to enjoy and appreciate.
I remember when one of the most pressing topics in the church world - the one that all the important people were concerned about - was about the rise of the Millennials and the urgency of questioning everything we took for granted in order to reach them for the Gospel. Now that Millennials have been relegated to being Boomers, the new topic for important people is Gen Z/iGen and how they’re changing the world for better and for worse.
forgot to share that we did a thing yesterday and bought the house we were renting, so that’s cool
In James 4:13-17, we find a brief excursus on those who seek to make plans for business and future profit and how the brevity of life ought to temper the confidence in our planning. It’s very likely that James has Ecclesiastes in mind in here, not only because of his conclusion that we are “mists that appear for a little time and then vanishes”, but also because of Ecclesiastes 1:3 and Solomon’s particular use of an obscure Hebrew word.
