Whom do we choose to believe?
Whom do we choose to trust?
Whom do we choose to follow?

The tyrants of this world, the "realists?"
Or the rocks of faith who insist on doing the Christ-like thing?

The ones who persist in showing goodness, mercy, humility, and compassion -- even in the face of evil and brutality.

We stake our very lives on the answer.

You know as well as I do that
this world desperately needs
more forgiveness and less fighting
more reconciliation and less retribution.

And here's the question:
If we Christians aren't the ones leading the way in this task,
then who do we expect to take our place?

When we keep our sights focused on God, we stay afloat.

But when we allow ourselves to become distracted with all the nagging concerns and worries that scream at us every minute of every day we lose our focus.

We start to slip.

Our worries and fears wash over us like angry waves.

God doesn’t love people because of
who they are.Instead, God loves people because of
who God is.
It’s God’s nature to love because
God is Love.

The Good News of Jesus Christ for you and me is this.
God loves us.
God never leaves us.

And in our times of greatest need, God carries us in his strong, loving arms.

God stands with us in the very midst of suffering and pain and injustice and cruelty.

Jesus commissions us to build a church -- an alternative community that is antithetical to the world around us.

Instead of military or economic or political power, we are called to use compassion, healing mercy, inclusiveness, and forgiveness to proclaim God's rule.

In so many ways, this world is a mess. It seems to be falling apart.
But through the eyes of Pentecost faith, you and I can dare to affirm that God's Holy Spirit is working to overcome discord and confusion in ways that we cannot possibly comprehend or even imagine.
