Making it Right

As it turns out, God is feeling the need for making things right just as much, if not more, than we are. The prophet says that our perpetual disregard of God’s way is wearying to the Divine. In other words, God is getting sick of us, and frankly I don’t blame her. “But listen and look!”, the prophet tells us. Even with the despair of the situation, God has not given up on making things right; God is sending a sign, an invitation to turn again to the work of hope and wholeness.

Hope for Declining Congregations

If your worshipping community is facing hard decisions that have been long-coming but accelerated by the global pandemic, you already know that fear of loss can lead to dissension and even more painful decline. It’s tempting to give in to a theology of scarcity, scrambling to piece together some solution that only prolongs the inevitable, and in the end facing a loss that is compounded by feelings of failure. If this is the reality that your community is facing, it’s important to recognize that you are not alone. Invested Faith offers some new ideas and, more importantly, life-giving hope.
