In Glorious Ruin

Crusade last night was amazing. Jimmy from Clemson Pres spoke about the state of our world, and it really spoke to me. He talked about how the world is like the roman Coliseum, once a great piece of architecture that has now fallen to decay. Our world has fallen so far away from the way God meant it to be. The people are crying out because our burden is so heavy and unbearable. But its not supposed to be that way. There is so much pain and so much suffering, too many tears to count, but it is not supposed to be that way. Christ out-weighed all of the suffering of the world when He conquered death. He has given the world life where there was only despair.

And its going to change.

That is speaks so loudly to mean, screams at me. We have hope. We have a promise. This is just a shadow of the real.
"But in keeping with his promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, the home of righteousness."
2 Peter 3:13


God is so amazing.


So put your faith in more than steel
Don't store your treasures up, with moth and rust
Where thieves break in and steal
Pull the fangs from out your heel
We live in but a shadow of the real
