"Going forth on the fourth"
There are three movements to this sermon that will, hopefully, bring together what it means to be a citizen, "patriot", and the Christian, "prophet".
1. We must never lose our passion for the problem
2. We must always remember to have a propensity for the possible
3. We will want to find a place where we can find a proclivity for peace
Life is about striving and striving. It is about finding a wrong and announcing it. It comes to us that we might be able to organize and structure life so that the wrong is made right. In the end life is more about being than it is speaking and doing. Consequently, sabbath and sacrament are as important as the causes we espouse and the tasks we undertake.
What causes do you have?
What organization will it take to meet them?
How are you taking time to find the center of your being in the midst of the naming and organizing?
